...first week as France's 23rd Premier since World War II, and its youngest Premier since 1883,* ambitious Maurice Bourèes-Maunoury, 42, looked as though he might be bounced out of office. He approached his first vote of confidence after doling out so many jobs-splitting portfolios two ways-that his Cabinet became a 45-man team, biggest in French history. But he still had to water down his demand for higher taxes before the Deputies would give him a chance. In the end the specter that haunts his government, and would probably bring him down...
...jailhouse to a penthouse, and the trip is sometimes fun. Kazan takes time to inspect such scenic wonders of TV as the reason-why-sell, the inverse commercial, the collective think, the built-in crowd. He also provides some hilarious examples of TV shoptalk ("Great show. J.B." "Ye-e-es, I think it had size"). And all the while he is sinking the oyster knife into his victim, who loves nothing in the world so much as power-above all the power to make people crawl...
Spring was as lovely as ever in Paris. Pale candle flames blossomed on the chestnut trees in the Champs Elysées, and the terrace cafés spread their chairs and tables out across the sidewalks again.

In another quarter of the capital the King dedicated a 1,250-unit housing project which boasts schools, a mosque and "gossip squares," where Iraqis may indulge their favorite national pastime. The housing program's long-range goal: 400,000 dwellings-new roofs for one-third of Iraq's population...
...surest sign of a real political crisis in France, now as in the 1930s or the days of the 1871 Commune, is the emergence of the mobs. Into the Champs Elysées they came one afternoon last week, 5,000 youths, war veterans and rightist sympathizers. After a small group had placed a wreath on the grave of the Unknown Soldier under the Arc de Triomphe, they crowded toward the office of the weekly L'Express, which has been attacking French army excesses in Algeria (TIME, April 1). Some shouted, "Mendès to the gallows"; others cried...
