...likely to be in atmospherics than in substance, the formal welcome of the new U.S. President to Paris will be gracious and el egant. Parisians will be treated to the rare sight of the U.S. flag flying over the Foreign Ministry instead of the customary tricolore. The austere Quai d'Orsay palace, on the Left Bank between the National Assembly and the Invalides, will be turned over to the Nixon party during his stay.

I will mention them all: besides Miss Crouse, they are Rika Burnham, Deborah Chadsey, Edith Hathaway, Nadine Hurst, D. Scott Kemper, Wakeen Ray, Ginny Roe, and Peter Stevens.
