Where Now? In their panicky fear of abandonment, Europeans searched for a way out and looked nervously to recently independent Tunisia and Morocco for a hint of their fate. The facts were sobering. In Tunisia, only 60,000 Frenchmen remain of the 180,000 who lived there on independence day five years ago. More than 100,000 of the 350,000 French who resided in Morocco have left.

During World War II, doctors in The Netherlands and Scandinavia noted a curious fact: despite the stresses of Nazi occupation, the death rate from coronary artery disease was slowly dropping. Not until long after the war-1950, in fact-did they get a hint of the reason.

...seriously. He is much more appropriate in the role of court jester to the 20th century, jingling the bells of dying ideologies and feudal theories, and giggling insanely at the reality in front of him. Never mind the world, Senator, on with the show--with just a slight hint of tragedy behind the charade in case any take it literally...
