...post offices. Somewhat ghoulishly, the girls at a Melbourne high school sent an invitation in French to President Pompidou to attend their funerals "á une date uncertaine-cela dépend en vous." Yet another protest to Pompidou came from some 100,000 Peruvian women denouncing the eastward drift of radioactive fallout. The mayor of Hiroshima charged France with "blatant disregard for human dignity." Even Prince Philip of Britain joined in the din, saying that he would gladly carry a banner down the Champs-Elysées if he thought it would help stop the tests...

Bucking the discount trend in the '60s, he concentrated on quality merchandise; three years ago, he persuaded the FTC to approve Broadway-Hale's purchase of Dallas-based...
