Under the diffident John Bailey and in the face of total indifference on the part of the President, who never cared much about the mechanics of national politics, the committee has all but withered away in the past five years. O'Brien, who will handle both jobs without pay?but is anxious to depart immediately after the campaign to replenish his finances?promised to have the committee "updated and strengthened in every...

The Navy's fleet ballistic missile Poseidon and the Air Force's powerful Minuteman III ICBM, both on their maiden tests, winged like homing pigeons to their targets from two launching areas at Cape Kennedy.

Set off by the responsive but docile Collegium Musicum of Paris, his special gifts of musical veracity and taste enhance familiar music and make...
Whether that ominous prediction comes true depends largely on how well Charles de Gaulle can cope with the dual goals of reviving the economy while undertaking social and political reforms. In a television interview three weeks ago, De Gaulle declared that his reform plan would be a middle way between Communism and Capitalism. He called it "participation." Two of the main features are to give students more say in the universities and to expand the powers of the already established comités d'entreprise-the workers' councils-into areas of managerial responsibility in France's industries...
