Personalities can make all the difference in politics. That dominant personality of the European scene, Charles de Gaulle, could barely conceal his distaste for professional Ludwig Erhard, West Germany's last Chancellor-not to mention his distaste for Erhard's pro-American policies. The result was some bad days for Franco-German cooperation, formally set up by treaty in 1963. Last week, when West Germany's new Chancellor, Kurt Georg Kiesinger, made his first official visit to Paris, De Gaulle met a man whose mind and manners he could admire.

...President, in public at least, maintained a stoic silence. Unlike Winston Churchill, who so hated his 80th birthday portrait by Graham Sutherland that he kept the original hidden until his death, Johnson cannot conceal the "ugliest thing" he ever saw. Hurd is putting the painting on public display this week in the Columbus (Ohio) Gallery of Fine Arts, and-thanks to its recent publicity-it eventually will be seen across the country.

As shot after shot is blown up, both the photographer and the audience perceive without a word of explanation what the camera had accidentally recorded and the girl has desperately tried to conceal: the murder of her companion in the park...
...President of the Young Dems is a 29-year-old ex-marine, a third-year law student named Don Allen. Allen, born in Florida, has come under attack for his "radical" politics and for his out-of-state background. A warm, straightforward person, he makes no effort to conceal his views. Although he would be classified as a middle-of-the-roader in national politics, Don Allen is definitely on the political left at Ole Miss...
