...better for Nice to have idle pimps than active robbers." He knew his maquereaux. No sooner were the poules off the street than a Paris industrialist on holiday in Cannes was robbed of $40,000 in jewels, and an American matron lost $120,000 in gems from her Cap Ferrat villa...
Last July 13, Freeman Frazee doffed thefolded paper cap that identifies the newspaper pressman and walked off his job at the Detroit Free Press. Since Frazee is president of the Detroit printing pressmen's union, he was followed by all his men, and at both the Free Press and the city's other paper, the evening News, the presses ground to a stop-silenced by Detroit's ninth newspaper strike since 1955.

Chinese Deal. Canadians rank only ninth in per capita consumption among the world's beer drinkers, and the 311 million gallons they quaff each year account for only 3% of the $15 billion world beer industry.

"She can read a balance sheet as well as a truck driver can read a road map," says a former associate. As proof of that...
...proceedings started off with a Bang - a lieutenant named Bang passed out the voting slips. In La Maison Blanche, a forlorn, peeling stucco villa overlooking Cap St. Jacques on the South China Sea, 58 officers of South Viet Nam's Military Revolutionary Council sat on hard, schoolroom-style chairs and scribbled their votes on the ballots. A colonel chalked up the results on a blackboard: Khanh, 50; Defense Minister General Tran Thien Khiem, 5; General Duong Van ("Big") Minh, 1; General Do Cao Tri, 1: blank ballot...
