...Stanley Hoffmann, professor of Government, visited Israel earlier this year at the invitation of Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and met with leading figures in Israeli politics. In the current issue of Foreign Affairs magazine. Hoffmann has published an article under the title. "A New Policy for Israel," which is worthy of close scrutiny both for its content and as a result of the attention it has received. Hoffmann's thesis is that the time has arrived for Israel to cease pinning all its hopes on a settlement imposed from without by the United States. Instead, he argues. Israel should...

...thought was right, and the EEC officials - Willy Schlieder, the EEC's director general for competition, and Albert Borschette, an EEC commissioner - were only doing their jobs. Their saga began two years ago when Schlieder and Borschette opened an investigation into pricing policies of Adams' employer, Hoffmann-La Roche & Co., the giant Basle-based pharmaceutical company. The EEC was curious as to why there were wide country-to-country variances in prices for livestock vitamins and two popular Roche tranquilizers, Librium and Valium. Officials suspected Roche of violating several articles of the Treaty of Rome, which governs trade...
