...story of Pompidou's dismissal, one of the most extraordinary chronicles of recent political history, is herewith detailed by TIME'S Paris bureau chief, Curt Prendergast. De Gaulle had actually been thinking about replacing Pompidou for a couple of years. He had, after all, kept Pompidou's predecessor, Michel Debré, for only three years, then dumped him once Debré had presided over the unpleasant business of granting Algeria independence-despite Debré's own opposition to the idea. The roots of the present events were struck in the May revolts, when Pompidou...
MOST testmakers conceded that their own cultural backgrounds impose a distinct bias on their questions. Arguing that all U.S. employment and IQ tests reflect the culture of white, middle-class America, Negro Sociologist Adrian Dove, 33, a program analyst for the U.S. Budget Bureau, devised his own quiz. Wryly known as the "Soul Folk Chitlings Test," it is cast with a black, rather than a white, bias. Some of his 30 black imponderables prove extremely difficult for Whitey: 1) Whom did "Stagger Lee" kill (in the famous blues legend)? a) His mother, b) Frankie, c) Johnny, d) His girl friend...

"He blended into the wallpaper," recalls Lillian Spencer, manager of the Kennedy Travel Bureau, who handled the simple declaration that Ray signed, affirming that he was a Canadian citizen. Next day, on Miss Spencer's say-so, Travel Agent Henry Moos notarized the form and forwarded it to Ottawa...
Someone Named Joe. By then the snub-nosed Iver Johnson eight-shot revolver, model 55 SA?a relatively cheap weapon that retails for $31.95?was yielding information. The serial number had been registered with the State Criminal Identification and Investigation Bureau. Within minutes, the bureau's computer system came up with the pistol's original purchaser: Albert L. Hertz of Alhambra. He had bought the gun for protection in August 1965, after the Watts riot. He informed police that he had subsequently given it to his daughter, Mrs. Robert Westlake, then a resident of Pasadena. Mrs. Westlake became uneasy...
