Whatever happens in Algeria, Old Soldier Charles de Gaulle is determined to carry the army along with him. By artfully reassigning the principal military malcontents, by paying close attention to the military's fears and hopes, he has brought the army along to grudging acceptance of his offer of Algerian self-determination. Last week came the first military challenge to De Gaulle's authority. It came from the only living Marshal of France-cantankerous, Algeria-born Alphonse Juin, 70, whose once prestigious role in French affairs has diminished over the past five years as a result...
...connection between these two facts, and so, a fortnight ago in Seoul, he posted "new policies [that] restrict logistical support and various privileges to authorized dependents of personnel who are on a service-directed accompanied tour of 24 months."

"In some sort of jazzy, Old Testament way," says his best friend (Sydney Chaplin), "you're being punished." The show had one ending when it opened in Pittsburgh, another by the time it got to Detroit, will probably have several...
When Smith was brought into Eden Hospital in nearby Castro Valley, Dr. Stephen Landreth, 37, an orthopedic surgeon, prepared for a standard amputation. Then he had a thought: "This is too good a leg to throw away." He got on the telephone to Dr. Alan Gathright, 38, a vascular surgeon, 20 miles away in Oakland. Asked Dr. Landreth: "You want to try for a miracle?" Gathright did, and he sped to the hospital...
