...There are no foreign policy issues involved. Though there are some economic worries, the overriding immediate issue is simply who can best maintain order in France, and then, in the long run, solve the antagonisms and grievances that have been exposed in recent weeks. Fearing that De Gaulle will benefit from a backlash law-and-order vote, the Communists have redoubled their efforts to cool the situation. "Every time somebody gets socked, it's worth at least 100 and perhaps 1,000 votes to the Gaullists," said one ranking French Communist. To counter this, the Communists sought to project...
Finally Willie was ready to make his big estocada (killing). Converting his traveler's checks, he headed for Madrid's annual "Benefit Bullfight," where El Cordobés was scheduled to face two bulls. Betting on first-round knockdowns, Willie collected a bundle. The first bull was so weak that his knees buckled as soon as he spotted the champ's cape.

...sharply improved. Had the Secret Service been guarding Kennedy last week-as it will guard presidential candidates from now on-the route through the Ambassador Hotel's serving kitchen would have been scouted and secured by at least seven agents.

At the very least, it is likely to insist on wage-and-benefit increases approaching the 6% gain won last year by the United Automobile Workers in its settlements with Detroit's Big Three. Larger still is the 6.5% increase that the Steelworkers themselves won two weeks ago in coming to terms on a new contract with the aluminum industry...
...wheelchair through a hospital basement. Sudden flash of rock singer in psychedelic lights. Now they're wheeling her into an elevator filled with other damaged patients. Out of the elevator they go . . . why, it's a big party, a charity dance, the sign says, to benefit some highway safety campaign. George C. Scott, looking annoyed, is leaving. Julie Christie, looking lovely, is trying to get Scott to go to bed with her. He is trying to ignore her. She introduces herself, points out her handsome husband, asks Scott if he's married. He's divorced...
