Many whites bugged out in despair; others sold their farms but took jobs flying bush planes, running tourist camps, still staying in the grand, gaudy country they loved. Today, there are And Dares-41,000 whites in Kenya, and they are by their own testimony happier than they were before uhuru. From the four Kenya races-African, Asian, European and Arab-Jomo Kenyatta has forged the closest thing to a united nation that can be found in black Africa. More important, the four African ethnic groups -Bantu, Nilotic, Nilot-Hamitic and the Hamites-are in greater harmony now than ever...
...France began boycotting the meetings of the European Economic Community, a feeling of gloom has spread over the Continent. Sensing that Charles de Gaulle wants to reshape the Common Market into his own instrument-or, failing that, to destroy it-France's five EEC partners have vacillated between despair and resistance. The result: an almost total lack of meaningful activity in the Market. Last week, in a swift and surprising reversal of form, the five ended their hesitation.

When Pope Pius XII defined the doctrine of the Virgin Mary's bodily assumption into Heaven, one eminent Jesuit friend of Tillich's was looking forward...
...never easy to determine when a turning point has come in the tide of war (or of history or politics). During the decade since the French were defeated at Dienbienphu, TIME has carried 14 cover stories on the Vietnamese conflict, at times reporting hope and at others near despair. This time, though a dramatic reversal has taken place in Viet Nam: the drift of defeat has been halted by the overwhelming new U.S. buildup. This issue of TIME tells-as it has not been told anywhere else-the story of how this happened, and of events that have already destroyed...
