...dailies that have succeeded in bucking the general decline offer lessons that the rest of Paris' papers are studying with interest. La Croix, a Catholic paper with 117,000 circulation, jumped sharply because of its coverage of the Ecumenical Council. While third-ranked Le Figaro held its own at 409,000 with its sober, comprehensive reporting, fourth-ranked L'Aurore trained its sights on a specific audience-the returnees from Algeria-and managed to boost circulation to 390,110.

His war service has ranged from staff posts to the front line, and his chestful of decorations includes France's Croix de guerre, Russia's Order of the Fatherland, and South Korea's Military Order of Taeguk, as well as the U.S. Distinguished Service Medal with oakleaf cluster. Harkins seldom shouts. If an officer does not measure up, he is quietly shipped out. One colonel remembers that the worst...
