OHIO'S governor was not the only person surprised at the thoroughness of TIME'S questioning. In Paris, Correspondent George de Carvalho managed to slip into a closed Palais Bourbon conference room to hear Pierre Poujade and his 53 Deputies discuss their strategy for the Assembly (see "Poujadists Under Fire" in FOREIGN NEWS). Correspondent de Carvalho thought he was passing unnoticed until he spotted a Poujadist staring suspiciously at his lapels: except for Poujade himself, De Carvalho was the only one present not wearing a Poujadist emblem.

He is usually home in suburban Bryn Mawr by about 7 p.m. for his ceremonial "B and B" (Brahms and bourbon). The Brahms comes from an elaborate hi-fi set and, during the music, Selby spends an hour or so reading his mail. Selby's three children have made occasional appearances on his television show, usually as a background audience, munching hot dogs and potato chips, washed down with milk...
