Last-Minute Call. The following morning, Pompidou telephoned Bernard Tricot, De Gaulle's top administrative aide, at the Elysée. If De Gaulle wanted him to stay, he would be glad to, said Pompidou. His only conditions were that he be given a say in drafting the participation bill and a free hand in running the National Assembly. Beyond that, all he wanted was a little well-earned rest -perhaps a two-week vacation. Tricot rang back after noon with a message from De Gaulle.

But on second thought, what good girl-watcher...
...days that followed, panel programs were thronged with psychiatrists who discussed violence and victims who discussed bullet wounds. Bernard Perlman of Mt. Sinai Hospital illustrated his talk for ABC with a plaster model of the brain; painstaking journalism can be painful to watch. So, too, was the appearance of Dr. Lawrence Pool of Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, who had talked long-distance to a member of the Good Samaritan surgical team and who on CBS's Manhattan radio station-and later on NBC-TV-gave Americans the first warning that the brain damage was much more "ominous" than...
