...majority on June 1, a runoff election between the two top vote getters will be held two weeks later. Pompidou might then find that Gaullist drawing power is fixed. If Poher, on the other hand, can assemble a large anti-Gaullist coalition - such as defeated the referendum - his current 35% reading might translate into a majority, as those voters who backed candidates eliminated in Round 1 choose between the two survivors. He already has the endorsement of his own centrist party; besides Defferre, the pivotal backers that could broaden his base include former Premier Pierre Mendès France...
Runge's Memoirs. The current clamor began in March in the newsweekly Der Spiegel with a series on the activities of the Soviet KGB. The magazine led off with a detailed account of the espionage activities of Soviet Embassy Counselor Yuri Vorontsov, who had died in a February collision while at the wheel of his black Mercedes 220 in Cologne.

The current manifestation began in 1964 when Designer Rudi Gernreich produced his infamous topless bathing suit. The Kremlin and the Vatican denounced it; most American women were completely unprepared (or unequipped) to wear it. In defense, Gernreich explained his purpose: "By exaggerating a new freedom of the body now, I hope to make the moderate, right degree of freedom more acceptable in the future." Yves St. Laurent seconded the motion two years later with...
...first offenders had a hole bored through their tongues with a hot iron, second-timers had a "B" branded into their foreheads and anyone foolhardy enough to be caught the third time suffered death without benefit of clergy. The Maryland legislature had an opportunity to do away with the current, milder version as recently as 1953, when it repealed a companion section on cursing (penalty: 25? for the first word, 50? for every word thereafter). But the lawmakers left the blasphemy portion intact...
