...sister organization, Euratom. Last week Euratom formally indicated its intention to build six nuclear reactors designed to provide the Six with 1,000,000 additional kilowatts of electricity by 1963. And in the spanking new Common Market headquarters on Brussels' aptly named Avenue de la Joyeuse Entree, Walter Hallstein, the German law professor who presides over the Common Market executive, could point to solid progress. Already the Common Market's European Investment Bank (capital: $1 billion) had made its first loans. Others of Hallstein's 1,000-odd employees were busily working out common tariffs and establishing...
Capturing the Conservatives. What now makes the Common Market more appealing to some Britons-its present lack of supranational goals-should presumably make it unattractive to those who dreamed of a united Europe. In fact, most of them are thoroughly content with cooperative unity. Says Walter Hallstein: ."Perhaps it's common sense to do it this way because we are dealing with conservative forces."

Gypsy (book by Arthur Laurents; music by Jule Styne; direction and choreography by Jerome Robbins) opened to breathless rave reviews. Burbled the Herald Tribune's Walter Kerr: "Best damn musical I've seen in years." Said Brooks Atkinson of the Times: "Most satisfactory musical of the season." The critical fan-farenade for what is, at best, a so-so show would be a puzzler if the answer was not blazoned on the marquee. The answer: Ethel Merman. They all love Ethel, but the love is sorely tested in her latest role as the most monstrous stage mother ever...
