Seth Field, manager of said theatre, recently received a visit from one of these dauntless diehards (me), and answered the ageless query, "Will it come to the U.T.?" with surprising clarity. Mr. Field, B.U. '37, said "yes." Pressed for details, he added...
...Gaulle and loudly proclaimed by Konrad Adenauer fortnight ago (TIME, April 20), Britain was increasingly aware that it stood in danger of becoming odd man out in Western Europe. "It can safely be said," declared a French TV commentator on the eve of Debré's visit to London, "that the Entente Cordiale is dead."

The long-awaited look was not a disappointment. But, as with many such wonders, the anticipation was somewhat more exciting than the actuality...

His personal magnetism and idealism--whether or not one thinks they were inspiring--are the rare and precious gift of a national figure. And if he is "drunk" with anything, it is popularity, not power...
