...year-old investment banker who was innocent of diplomatic experience. France was in a state of upheaval: Indo-China was falling, Algeria was on fire, and Suez was threatening. Dillon handled himself with unspectacular competence, won French government gratitude at a parlous moment by proclaiming U.S. support of France's "liberal" aims in Algeria...
...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 now vanished into thin air.

The Central, which was also soliciting tenders of B. & O. stock, refused to say how many it had received. But the figure was estimated as low as only...
...harried General Court cannot undertake, even political interests aside. Despite the fiascos that New Hampshire puts on every 7 years, conventions like New Jersey's in 1947 have succeeded when advised by competent research. The uniqueness of a convention overcomes the usual cynicism toward politics and stimulates interest and support that the everyday process of government cannot get. Jerome Rappaport, a member of the Constitutional Conference that has been studying reforms, maintains that "it does a society a great deal of good to examine the organic structure of its government in an introspective fashion, just as it does an individual...
