Valentine Day. Then Bobo happened. Born Jievute Paulekiute in the Pennsylvania coal country, renamed Eva Paul, then Barbara Paul as a show-business title, then Bobo by the chic set she moved up to, the comely blonde had been married to Richard Sears Jr., a well-to-do Bostonian who went into the Foreign Service after the war. After first meeting the onetime model and bit actress in a New York restaurant, Win Rockefeller burbled: "I saw her and I knew I was gone." He was 35.

...does not presently worry serious economists. Herbert Schiller of the University of Illinois speaks for most of his colleagues when he says flatly: "We won't be overwhelmed by the disaster aspects of waste." Not only is the U.S. constantly developing substitutes (aluminum for iron, oil for coal, synthetic fabrics for wool), but detection and discovery techniques have so greatly improved that the reserves known to be available are actually larger than before...

Separate Ways. The High Authority has been sending groups of experts around to talk to coal and steel men, hoping to build up so much pressure that when the Community's Council of Ministers meets on Nov. 22 the French will be more friendly.

The experiences of the 1930s prove that Europe is too small...
...French seem unconvinced. "Sacrifice imposed on a country by an authority other than its own is unacceptable," said French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville last week in Paris, adding that France's experience with the Coal-Steel organization had been "lamentable." Concluded Couve: "Nothing has taken place in Luxembourg except coal crises." That sounded ominous for the Community's future...
