...Europe to avoid the noise." . . . Winging into Paris' Orly Airport, Boston Matron Rose Kennedy, 70. was forthwith thrust into a quarter-hour TV interview, proved as nimble as Son Jack in verbal fencing-although one listener described her French as "not so fractured as it sounded fried in bacon grease."

France leads the list with 99 entries; next is the U.S. with 42. Most represented artist in the show...
...sees the time coming when almost all polyethylene bags will be scented to match the product enclosed, even to spinach, orange and other odors for foods. There is even a better scent for mousetraps: one Midwestern maker has ordered pellets to give his traps the scent of chocolate or bacon, which mice prefer to cheese...
