...Europe, France's anti-American leftists failed to hold even a single meeting or publish a petition. Christian democrats and moderate socialists in Belgium organized a five-minute strike for May 8, but the U.S. embassy had not had a single protest. Stones were thrown through a few windows at the U.S. embassy in Copenhagen. 50 demonstrators were held back by police, but the newspaper Berlingske Tidende said, "The U.S. was given no choice," had "a duty to restore strategical balance."

...They've thrown us a bone every few weeks," said a dejected Air Force sergeant in England last month, "but I can see the writing on the wall. They ain't comin' through." Like thousands of others, the sergeant had ceased to believe in the recurring rumor that the Defense Department would soon lift its ban on Government-paid travel for dependents of servicemen stationed in Europe (TIME, April 13).

Today, however, Volvo factories swarm with lynx-eyed inspectors so uncompromising that suppliers are apt to find entire shipments of parts rejected for a minor deviation that many auto companies would let pass. Such rigid adherence to standards comes straight from Volvo's incisive Managing Director Gunnar Engellau, 55, who coldly compels his top executives to reduce their weight whenever they deviate from his specifications for the ideal male figure. Since Engellau...
