...Monnet, spiritual godfather of the EEC. In a way they have. With the expansion of the Common Market from six to nine members-and, more important, the breaking of the French-German deadlock that paralyzed it through the De Gaulle era-Europe now seems at what Italian Author Altiero Spinelli describes as "the brink of a moment of creative tension...
Viewed from a greater distance than London, Europe's forward march seems more ambiguous. The central fact of the early '70s in the West may well be that "the European idea" has finally won general acceptance, as Italy's Spinelli argues. Nonetheless, that idea is still perceived in different and often contradictory ways by Europe's eager men of commerce, its wary, jealous politicians, its skeptical workingmen and its restless, tribal minorities (see story page...
Others argue that there is nothing predestined about the European adventure. Political unity? If that is to be added to the present economic goals, says Richard Mayne, one of Britain's most eloquent Europeanists, then "we have to rethink the idea of Europe."

...scattered muggings and holdups. It is a wonder that Newhall has room even for that sort of news. At last count, the Chronicle was carrying no fewer than 53 columnists, ranging downward from Walter Lippmann to Count Marco, a no-count native of Pittsburgh whose real name is Marco Spinelli. In "Beauty and the Beast," Marco offers advice to females, mostly matrons interested in getting their husbands interested again, and once recommended: "Take a bath with your husband. . . . Step daintily into the bubble-filled tub. Mon Dieu, this is no time to bend over." Newest addition to the growing throng...
