...NATO's new Paris headquarters last week, the glow of cheer was nearly as bright as the premature spring sunshine that caressed strollers on the Champs Elysées. For one thing, France-Soir, biggest of Paris dailies, reported that Charles de Gaulle had instructed his top brass: "You make arrangements with the Atlantic organization for air and naval cooperation.

Even some erstwhile Kassem defenders turned hostile: in Lebanon a crowd of 3,000 battled police in a drive to overrun the Iraqi embassy, and Beirut's Le Soir, long friendly to the Baghdad regime, fulminated, "Dipped in blood to the roots of their hair, will the masters of Baghdad never tire of assassinating people...
