...substantial amount may well come from France, where Israel enjoys vast popular support despite De Gaulle. The French President decreed the ban without consulting either Prime Minister Couve de Murville or Foreign Minister Michel Debré. Predictably, it raised a roar of political and editorial protest, especially so since De Gaulle has sold a dozen Mirage 3s to Lebanon and is dickering to sell 54 more to Iraq. Every major non-Communist paper in France denounced the ban on arms to Israel. In reply, De Gaulle harshly raised, through Information Minister Joël Le Theule, an old European phobia...
...Britain "foaming with much blood." It was the first time that Powell-or any other politician in recent British history-had made such a major issue of the delicate question of race.

Their paychecks, which average $1.28 an hour for a 45-hour week, directly support 40% of the city's 1,300,000 population. Fiat has company housing, company resorts and entertainment, company clinics and sports teams-but few company strikes. There have been work stoppages on only 34 days in the past six years. Fiat also controls Turin's La Stampa (circ. 500,000), which is probably Italy's best daily after...
