...Federalist. Rey, 65, has been in the business of building Europe since the end of World War II. As Belgian Minister for Reconstruction, he was one of the earliest supporters of the Schuman Plan, which led to the European Coal and Steel Community. As Minister of Economic Affairs, he helped found the Common Market, becoming one of its nine original commissioners in 1958. Like most dedicated Eurocrats, he wants a Europe united politically as well as economically. But Rey has no intention of turning the Market into the French-dominated society expounded by De Gaulle. His model, rather...

...name soloists -by far the most significant is the generous sampling of provocative modern works. Already this season he has conducted the American premiere of a 1957 violin concerto by French Composer Serge Nigg, and in the months ahead he will present music by Alban Berg, William Schuman and Charles Ives.

Faster Cars, More Chances. Every bit as astonishing, adds Schuman, is what the Michigan team has learned about the young men who are still alive. Of the 288 unmarried male drivers under 25 interviewed, more than a third had had accidents during the past year, and nearly half had received tickets for moving traffic violations.

Later, they want faster cars and take more chances." Accidents for drivers over 21 and under 25 are fewer...

...scientists also gained some insights. "The most dangerous young male driver is one alone in his car," says Schuman, "because he will take amazing chances alone that he wouldn't take if someone were with him." The researchers found that the young male driver is using the car as an "expressive" instrument to blow off steam after an argument with his family or girl, or to gain relief from problems caused by school grades or draft worries. In finding an outlet for his frustrations and anxieties, he is also unconsciously releasing suicidal and homicidal impulses...

Mark of Cain. One root of the problem, Schuman believes, is that young Americans "are raised to believe life is a matter of risk taking." Says he: "Driver training today is as outmoded as the dinosaur; we've got to teach youngsters to live with their cars, to 'cool it.' " The high accident rate and death toll of young male drivers also bothers insurance companies. Richard G. Chilcott, vice president of Nationwide Mutual Insurance, recently suggested that "mark of Cain" license plates be issued to drivers with bad records, restricting them to essential trips. And New York...
