What galled Lille was the frigid Gaullist disregard of the need for French industrial expansion-a common complaint of voters in last December's close presidential election. "The image of the industrial north as a self-sufficient, rich region is little more than a myth," complained a Chamber of Commerce speaker at the luncheon for De Gaulle. "The internationalizing of modern Europe should force France into relying on the few strong regions she possesses, giving them a better chance of catching up with the European industrial level. Due to their economic policies, Belgium and Holland have attracted a great...
...such forced pace. One night, shortly after arriving in the war theater last December, the Enterprise was told that South Viet Nam's Cam Ranh Bay airfield had been made inoperable by rains, and that the carrier's planes were needed for a strike in that region-175 miles away-the next morning.

'What should I become and be?', 'What is the meaning of my life?'?then we are exploring or encountering that region of experience where language about the ultimate becomes useful and intelligible." That is not to say that God is necessarily found in the depths of anxiety. "Rather we are in the region of our experience where God may be known, and so where the meaningful usage of this word...
