...acted as one sovereign nation answering the appeal for help of other sovereign nations-much as the President moved troops into Lebanon in 1958. The order not only put teeth into the President's statement of last July promising firm support for the Monroe Doctrine, but broadened the doctrine to include swift support for any Latin American nation that felt itself under threat from Communism...
...France's Common Market partners are displeased by De Gaulle's cold assertion that their hope of ultimately converting the Common Market into a true European political union is so much supranational moonshine.

All this brings the number of sovereign states to 102, even when the cold-war divided twins (the two Germanys, two Chinas and two Koreas) are counted as only three nations. If last week's split-up between the two halves of the 16-month-old Mali Federation-the onetime French Sudan and French Senegal-proves permanent, the count may soon...
