Britain and the Common Market reshapes Western Europe
Walter Lippmann analyzes Britain’s bid to join the European Community amid shifting Western alliances. He notes fragile unity among six in Europe, Gaullist France’s influence, and the risk Britain’s entry poses to the EU’s political framework and transatlantic ties.
