...came, was seen by and promptly conquered French cinematographiles last August, and they styled her la B. B. américaine. Now, after a brief period of adjustment, Vassar-bred Jane Fonda, 26, is taking a walk on the wild side with the original Bardolator, Director Roger Vadim, 36. The man who discovered Brigitte's charms bundled Hank's lanky daughter into his favorite costume, a bed sheet, tousled her hair and led her intently through the scenario of his movie version of La Ronde.

The merry band made 60 "sightings" during its brief stay, the most exotic of which was a wattled plover...
...workingman may have more leisure time, but his boss is working longer hours than ever. That is the conclusion of a survey made by the Chase Manhattan Bank and reported last week in its bimonthly Business in Brief. Since World War II, the average worker has gained an additional 155 hours a year in time-off, now works a 40-hour week or less. On the other hand, 40% of all managers, executives and proprietors put in more than 48 hours a week on the job, usually carry home work in their attache cases...
