...Bushed & Broke." Bell, who will become vice president in charge of international programs for the Ford Foundation, confessed that his long-running performance had left him "bushed and broke." AID, by contrast, is in surprisingly good shape. In the face of persistent Congressional assaults on the program, Bell, a Harvard-trained economist who was summoned to Washington in 1961 as President Kennedy's first budget director, helped trim the fat by rejecting the notion of aid as "a worldwide welfare program" and insisting on "self-help...
Alternative to Theology. By contrast to Ball's rigid view of the shape of tomorrow's Europe-and to a large extent thanks to Charles de Gaulle-there is a new view of Europe burgeoning in Washington. Last week ex-White House Adviser McGeorge Bundy advocated before the Fulbright committee that West Germany accept the Oder-Neisse frontier with Poland and renounce its claims to Heimatsrecht in the lost territories of Silesia and East Prussia. His sentiments were reinforced by Defense Secretary Robert McNamara in testimony last week on Capitol Hill. In reply to a question by Bobby...

...marital Armageddon. His chief combatants are a pair of matched failures: George is an ineffectual, hagridden history professor; his wife Martha is the university president's daughter-a bitchy, aging man-eater with a father fixation and a casual lust for younger chaps. The entertainment takes shape very late one evening when a new young faculty couple stops by for a nightcap. "Give your coats and stuff to sourpuss," snarls Martha, and the foursome is off on an orgy of truth-and-consequences that lasts until dawn. They slosh down a superhuman amount of booze, blurt family secrets, swap...
...Unity. Will the journey bring an end to the cold war or just a Franco-Russian nonaggression pact like the one De Gaulle concluded on his last visit to Moscow in 1944, which the Soviets tore up after West Germany joined NATO in 1955? Will there be a new shape to the Continent? Certainly France and Russia - allies of old in the broad European context - have it in their power to change the structure of Europe. De Gaulle has already generated a new atmosphere in the Western alliance, and the Russians are under considerable pressure to alter the nature...
