There is something deliciously subtle and sharp in the French sense of humor, especially when it deals with the relationships between la femme et I'homme. And this is what "Carnival In Flanders" (time, 1618) is about: the "heroic" resistance the women in a Flemish town put up against the Spanish Duke come to sack the village--by pretending that the pompous, ineffectual mayor is dead and going therefore into mourning!

...many a pointer on how -or how not-to act when their turn came to go to Washington. That group was the nation's investment trust managers, whom the Securities & Exchange Commission is currently investigating as a preliminary to making legislative recommendations to Congress (TIME, Oct. 5, et ante). They have fallen over each other in protesting their earnest desire to cooperate with SEC. They have admitted the existence of abuses, in the past if not the present. They have conceded the need of regulation, for their fellow trusters if not themselves. They have freely volunteered advice...
