...July, representatives of the U.S. and France faced each other in the big, ornate Peace Palace at The Hague before the 15 black-robed, white-bibbed judges of the International Court of Justice. In a crimson robe decked with ermine, Professor André Gros argued for France that the treaty was an archaic document under which the U.S. was trying to build a "quasi-protectorate" of its own in Morocco. The American businessmen in Morocco, Lawyer Gros said, were engaged in privileged import and money-exchange activities "based on fraud," and could not be checked by local laws...
...from "cavern disease," acute depression caused by remaining too long underground. On his way up, the steel cable, sawing on jagged rocks, snapped. Loubens fell through darkness to a pile of boulders 120 feet below. He had a broken back and broken jaw. Not until next morning did Dr. André Mairey reach the unconscious Loubens. Even as he lashed the injured man to a stretcher, Loubens died. The stretcher jammed in the rocks.

Last week the Swiss Federal Council, Switzerland's national executive body, announced that it regards Professor Bonnard's activities as more than eccentric...
...ANDRÉ GIDE, French novelist who died last year at 81, author of The Counterfeiters, Les Caves du Vatican, Theseus, etc., one of the topflight literary figures of the 20th century. The official decree banning Gide's work did not give a reason, but the Vatican's L'Osservatore Romano offered an interpretation: "He lived as a nonChristian, even as a deliberate antiChristian. The taste for profanity . . . was carried by him to blasphemy . . . His art had a feeling of his lasciviousness . . . The work of Gide from beginning to end is all orchestrated on a tone of ambiguous...
