...Britain, he apparently feels, would not only rival French influence but act on behalf of the U.S. to dominate the Common Market. Adenauer, who is anxious to achieve almost any form of political union before he steps down, is now willing to go along with De Gaulle's concept. Belgium and The Netherlands prefer a far tighter, supranational federation, but failing that, they want Britain in as a counterweight to France and Germany. Says Belgium's Foreign Minister Paul-Henri Spaak: "England is a great political stabilizing element, our necessary intermediary with...

"peace force" would wield all military power in the world except...
Taking a look at themselves, the critics found that the average Trinity student "makes few efforts to distinguish himself culturally." His extracurricular activities are "ludicrous and grotesque," and cheating on exams is "tacitly accepted." Typically, he "does not have any concept of what education involves, nor does he give any evidence of wanting to find out." Music Professor Clarence Walters, whose department got the worst panning, called it "inconceivable that the administration should permit the publication of such a report." But Trinity's President Albert C. Jacobs promptly forwarded the document to his trustees, with a proud note...
