Each region will be governed by a Paris-appointed prefect, but his decisions will be made in coordination with proposed regional councils consisting of locally elected deputies, representatives of local communes and departments, and appointed officials such as chamber of commerce presidents. These councils will levy local taxes, prepare local budgets and plan economic development. If the plan is approved in the forthcoming referendum-and that approval seems almost certain-the regions may be able to "renew their personality," as French Technocrat Louis Armand once put it, "without having to do it through that monster that...

Largely because of his concern, three men were saved from the gas chamber. In New York City, 250 youthful executives are giving up much of their leisure time to help black and Puerto Rican entrepreneurs open businesses in the slums. In California, James Lorenz, a bright young lawyer, has forsworn a more profitable law practice in order to establish a statewide legal-aid service for Mexican-American farm workers...
