...Bella was put aboard an Air France Caravelle to Switzerland, where he was delivered into the hands of Morocco's African Affairs Minister, Dr. Abdelkrim Khatib. Then the U.S. entered the picture. Responding to a request by Morocco's King Hassan II, the State Department, "with President Kennedy's knowledge," passed the problem on to the Military Air Transport Service, which produced a Pan Am Boeing 707 jet available for charter...

...formidable is the economic success of the Common Market that most of Europe's out nations are queuing up to get in.* Last week three neutrals-Austria, Switzerland and Sweden-met in the Swedish ski resort of Rattvik to discuss ways of becoming associated with the market without sacrificing their precious neutrality. The combined trade of the three with the market nations last year totaled $6,279,000,000, and all three fear that the market's common tariff barriers against the rest of the world will eventually freeze them out. At the same time, they fear...
Market members are in no mood to offer such concessions, have little sympathy for neutrality (although they draw a distinction between the neutrality of Austria, enforced by the 1955 peace treaty with Russia and the West, and the voluntary neutrality of Sweden and Switzerland). Common Market leaders feel that granting special concessions to the neutrals would be unfair to members who have made the full sacrifices demanded-and might tempt some member states to reduce their own market obligations in future. Another argument heard: Why grant association to the neutrals rather than to NATO partners such...
Scientists have long used high-energy protons (fundamental particles that form the nuclei of hydrogen atoms) as tools to explore the secret innards of matter. Two enormous accelerators, one at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Long Island, the other near Geneva, Switzerland, spew out protons with 30 billion electron-volts of energy. Yet in some ways protons are clumsy tools for basic research; for many subtle experiments, electrons (much lighter negative particles of electricity) are better. But electrons are so much more difficult to handle that scientists have never been able to give them really high energy. The Cambridge accelerator is designed...
