When France's allies consider what direction France might now take, they would prefer most the continued existence of the present regime, if roused by the common peril it resolved its differences.

Some of the critics came out on the side of the stuffy clergymen. Wrote Film Critic Robert Muller of the Daily Mail: "Has religion entered the marshmallow age? Is the Church in the queue with the rest of the pitchmen who clamor for our attention?" Despite such attacks, British TV is evidently trying to step into what it considers a spiritual vacuum in Britain. Other religious TV shows: a puzzled panel of youngsters alternating bouts of rock 'n' roll with questions to the Moderator of the Church of Scotland ("Why isn't it just as good...
