City Editor Gene Lowall of the Denver Post (circ. 237,061) collects crimes with the passion that other men lavish on postage stamps and Ming vases.

To awaken the same feeling in other Frenchmen, Le Figaro decided to dramatize what it considered the nation's deplorable indifference to the fact that the French colonial empire (73 million people) is now the world's largest. Le Figaro's correspondents polled 500 citizens, a cross section of the population, on French colonial geography. Last week the paper reported the gratifyingly horrendous results...
