Premier Debré insisted in the Assembly that De Gaulle's October invitation to Algerian leaders to come to Paris under safe-conduct to negotiate "a peace of the brave" was still open. "No other offer," said Debré, "has been or could ever be envisaged." Yet such denials did not exclude the possibility that contacts with the rebels (if not actual negotiations) have been resumed...

When one Robert Rich was announced as top original writer for The Brave One, he never stepped forward.

"But it's just easier to serve the period of detention than go for the rest of my life having something like this on my conscience. I would be betraying my entire profession if I revealed my source." Why did not the CBS spokesman come forward now and give her the right to reveal his name? Said she: "The guy could lose his job." There was some comfort...
