This week's story, written by Robert Jones and edited by Edward Hughes, focuses on le grand Charles's trip to the Soviet Union, but reaches well beyond for a much wider scope. In TIME'S pattern and practice, it is what the French call a tour d'horizon. At a time when the policies and programs of nations East and West are undergoing great if often subtle change, it studies the meaning and thrust of these new forces and explores the Gaullist question of whether an era is approaching that may see all Europe...
...Gaulle took France's defeat at the hands of Communism in Southeast Asia as stoically as possible, even turning it to his diplomatic advantage in his current Russian tour. Last week he revealed that he would visit Cambodia in September, and had dispatched a "personal message" to North Viet Nam's Ho Chi Minh that might very well win him an invitation to Hanoi.

The French critics treated his visitations with a mixture of adulation and almost blind acceptance and the Paris musicians...
Sinister Green Thumb. At 45, Amália has been the queen of fado for more than 20 years. But she is a vagabond queen, rationing her performances at home to tour the world. In Lisbon, variety-show comics crack that Portugal has everything that the rest of the world has-except Amália. "The Portuguese are jealous lovers," says Amália. "They say that I drink, that I am a spy, that I work for the secret police, that I sing only for ministers." Actually, her most sinister possession is a green thumb, with which she tends...
