Last week, after almost two months of photography and tailing suspects, the police struck, in Paris and in half a dozen other northern cities. The bag was impressive: some 30 people, ranging from Mohammed ben Aissi, who, police claim, was the head of F.L.N.'s Region No. 3 (northeastern France), to a 24-year-old Moslem girl who was a philosophy student at the Sorbonne, to a civil servant who worked in the French social security office in Lille, had access to employment rolls and was thus able to supply the names of Moslem workers who could be forced...
...emerges if these four types are added together?

Sex was the province of the Ladies Home Journal. Dr. Spock replaced the Bible. Bohemia in pink panties was more organized nymphomania than Art. Greenwich Village was overrun with mop-headed, turtle-necked, tweed-wrapped, smudge-faced, and beer...
