...Europeans were stunned. Ever since 1957, when paratroops brutally suppressed the F.L.N. terrorists in the cities, Moslem city dwellers have practiced attentisme, a zombielike acceptance of every indignity just to stay alive. The advocates of a French Algeria argued that the casbah really wanted association with France but was intimidated into silence for fear of the F.L.N. Attentisme (wait-and-see-ism) virtually disappeared last week in the explosive espousal of the F.L.N. The extremist Front de l'Algérie Française had claimed the support of 500,000 Moslems-if they ever existed, they have...
...Many Belgians have never forgiven Leopold for surrendering to the Germans rather than going into exile during World War II; as a result Leopold felt compelled nine years ago to abdicate in his son's favor. Neither father, son, nor subjects have felt entirely easy about their relationships ever since. Now Belgians hope that their court, instead of being the focus of dissension and dispute, may regain its position as the symbol of a united national family...
...fight for Vientiane was the long-postponed showdown between armies of the left and right in Laos. Ever since his coup in August, the city has been controlled by pro-Communist Captain Kong Le with a battalion of paratroops. Much of the rest of the country has remained in the hands of pro-U.S. General Phoumi Nosavan, the closest thing Laos has to a strongman. When neutralist Premier Prince Souvanna Phouma gave up his assiduous attempts at compromise between the two factions and flew off to safety in Cambodia (TIME, Dec. 19), the stage was set for trouble...
...grand or unpretentious, prepare for the gladdest occasion of the Christian calendar. The choirs, practicing the favorite carols, come as close as they will be to perfection, creches are installed, candles lit. The old is comfortable and familiar. But across the wintry U.S. this year, more churchgoers than ever before will find themselves in novel surroundings (see color...
...upset in Perth astounded the tennis world. No Italian team had ever before made the Davis Cup playoff, and not since 1936 had the Americans been shut out. Resigned to defeat, the Italians had even reserved seats on a plane flight leaving for home right after their matches with the U.S. The very first day of play nearly put the Italians on the plane: the U.S.'s belligerent Butch Buchholz, 20, beat Sirola 6-8, 7-5, 11-9, 6-2, and brooding Barry MacKay, 25, defeated Pietrangeli, 8-6, 3-6, 8-10, 8-6, 13-11. Muffling...
