Ears & Guts. At 11:30 that night, 22 ministers somberly gathered at the Elysee. They were just in time to hear a full report on a cavalry officers' banquet held that same evening in the Bois de Boulogne. There, in splendid regalia, Marshal Alphonse Juin had made another speech -even more mocking than before. He did not take back a word about EDC. Marshal Juin, a graduate of St. Cyr (where he was a classmate of Charles de Gaulle), was utterly opposed to handing over the army of Napoleon and Foch to the dubious control of a hybrid international...
Last week, at his banquet, Perry Smith delivered one final plea for the middle way of the "oldfashioned progressive." He denounced those who would sweep away all discipline and intellectual content from the school ("Certainly the old-fashioned progressive never advocated any such thing").

This week, at a banquet in London's Tallow Chandlers' Hall, a group of white-tied notables gathered to pay tribute to Shipley's crusade. Just 200 years had passed since he organized his famous meeting of "Noblemen, Clergy, Gentlemen & Merchants" to set up what has subsequently become the Royal Society of Arts. Since then, the society has inspired, rewarded and publicized thousands of different projects, has been as effective a catalyst to Britain's wealth and might as any the nation has had. In 200 years, it has also earned itself a title: "England...
Potter caught up to McCarthy later in the afternoon and demanded that McCarthy call a meeting of the subcommittee. McCarthy refused, said he might be able to get around to it the following week. But that night, after a Republican banquet in the plush Sulgrave Club, the four Republicans caucused informally, and McCarthy said he would talk to Cohn. Next day he reported back: "Roy denies everything categorically. You haven't seen the other part of the story." They agreed that they would meet in the committee's office on Friday, confront Roy Cohn with the report...
