...most conscientious O.R.T.F. newsmen will ultimately be purged, the journal asked, "Why has De Gaulle pardoned [General Raoul] Salan but continues to refuse to pardon the TV newsmen?

One must not forget that he carried out his hardest campaigns and his most brilliant successes over the air. To touch his microphone is to stab at his heart...
Many property owners in the same unenviable bind have asked the courts for a legal roadblock against encroaching progress. With rare exceptions, they have lost out to the principle of "eminent domain," which allows the state to acquire private property in the interests of the public good.

Later, Hofheinz plans to build more motels...

So far, about 50,000 copies have been sold, mostly to university libraries where for the first time they will be available for students' perusal. Though most of the magazines are in the public domain, Kraus scrupulously tracked down the editors and in most cases is paying them modest royalties on sales.
