Spaakistan. From the headlines, the dream of a united Continent seemed more illusory than ever. In fact, it looked last week as if Europe's long-stalled political machinery was in gear again. For one thing, the Labor victory in England has persuaded pro-British Europeans that there is no longer much point in holding out for British membership in the Common Market before discussing political integration...
Running out of steam-and questions -Erhard looked around the room for support from Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroder and Defense Minister Kai-Uwe von Hassel.

He played upon the anti-religious sentiment of the younger generation by hammering away disdainfully at Premier Khalil's personal devotion to the Moslem cult of aging Abdel Rahman el Mahdi. He lashed out at the Baghdad Pact, accused the Premier of being pro-American, pro-British, and pro-imperialist. While carefully ignoring Nasser's blatant maneuvers to take over the Sudan and his newly asserted claim on more than 6,000 miles of northern territory, El Azhari spoke glowingly of the desirability of a "common defense pact" with Egypt...
