...Maunoury conceded that "force alone" could not hold Algeria. Force alone would also not satisfy the Socialists and the Catholic M.R.P., whose support his minority government needs to survive. Over violent objections from his own Cabinet, Radical Socialist Bourgès-Maunoury hammered out a loi-cadre (skeleton law) for Algeria that by the current standards of French opinion was almost generous. It would divide Algeria into half a dozen semi-autonomous regions in which Moslems would for the first time have equal voting rights with Algerian Frenchmen. After two years the regional assemblies were to be allowed to elect...
...that in its social structure, Greece is none too modern. A Girl in Black is an Ibsenic study of what 19th century Europeans called "the woman question," and from the screen it breathes the musty atmosphere of a long-shut closet-the mid-Victorian kind with a skeleton in it. The main point Director Cacoyannis makes is that "respectable people" in Greece are still locked in the closet of 19th century manners and morals, and he seems to think it high time they broke...
...military announcers. But Pibul, accompanied only by a military aide, was already speeding south at the wheel of his Thunderbird. Somewhere along the coast of the Gulf of Siam, Pibul and his aide boarded a navy LCM manned by his personal guards.

...which Algerian nationalists will get political benefits. But the deadline to this sort of postponement is the September U.N. session, when the Arab-Asian bloc can be expected to raise the Algerian question again. The French government is currently studying a project to offer Algeria a loi cadre (a "skeleton of law" to be fleshed out as the need arises), in advance of the U.N. session. This would reportedly decentralize and gerrymander Algeria so that the outnumbered French would not be everywhere overwhelmed by Arab votes, and provide some form of internal autonomy. But if the President of France...
Most spectacular recovery is resurgent West Germany. Last week, just across from the gaunt skeleton of the bombed Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, West Berlin opened three gleaming, glassy new buildings of its new garment center, will open later this summer its fabulous Building Exhibition, to which the world's greatest architects, from France's Le Corbusier to Brazil's Niemeyer and America's Gropius have each contributed a structure. Mercedes-Benz cars crowd the Autobahnen, and so many workers are buying Kleinstwagen (small one-or two-cylinder cars seating four) that the motorcycle industry is suffering...
