...polysyllabic-vowel school, e.g., "There's a wall between us, and it's not made of sto-o-o-one/ Although we're together I feel so alo-o-o-one"), she blasts out her ballads in what, if she did not use phony electronic echo effects, would be a good voice. A $750-a-week nightclub performer (last week, Boston) who hit the charts heavily last year with Miracle of Love, Eileen may have another hit with her current disk...

Last week, as the U.N. prepared to open its 12th General Assembly meeting and its corridors began to echo with talk of Algeria, French Premier Maurice Bourgès-Maunoury announced his new plan for Algeria, and called Parliament into special session to consider it. Bourgès, 43, France's youngest Premier since 1883, could expect trouble for his plan in the unruly French Assembly. His plan...
