...same elegant ballroom in which Charles de Gaulle had twice scuttled British applications for entry into the Common Market. Appropriately, many of the journalists who had witnessed those historic pronouncements were among the 300 newsmen who gathered at the Elysée Palace one evening last week. Seated on gilt chairs with barricades of cameramen and TV crews behind them, they waited for the appearance of Britain's Prime Minister Edward Heath and France's President Georges Pompidou...

...moon over the good old days extends far beyond Broadway; without question, the most popular pastime of the year is looking back. Sometimes it seems as if half the country would like to be dancing cheek to cheek with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in a great ballroom of the '30s. The other half yearns to join Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman on a back-lot Casablanca of the '40s to whisper: "Play it, Sam. Play As Time Goes By." We seem to be not so much entering the new decade as backing away from it full steam...

...Sunnyvale, Calif., the mood inside the executive offices of the local Lock heed plant is one of spacious melancholy, like the first-class ballroom on the Ti tanic after most of the passengers had jumped ship.

Unemployment in the Se attle area...

...perhaps most striking of the collaborators is photographer Gordon Willis. His lighting captures the muffled diffusion of city sun, the dank swank of a resort ballroom, the verdant warmth of a mid-afternoon in the park. Last year his talent was used only to dress up the dross of End of the Road -a film which burst apart by emphasizing the presence of violence, and not its causes; here he contributes to the success of a minor masterpiece which takes a very cool, bitterly funny look at some very harsh truths...

BACK HOME the ADA was never like this. You expect staunch liberals, oldish, straight-backed, and supremely moralistic. And so you are surprised when you step into the gilded ballroom of the Sheraton Plaza Hotel and find 800 Americans for Democratic Action-young and fashionably dressed-minis, midis, maxis, and even a pair of hot pants. Paying $1250 a plate for dinner, they are at least reasonably well off, and their clothes suggest that they are even better off than that. The guest list is heavily studded with Jewish names, but it also includes a few McKay...
