Citation: "Scholar and writer . . . a man broad and humanistic in his learning and his teaching . . . Without doubt, the greatest achievement arising out of [his] interest is his current project, a monumental history of United States naval operations, World War II ... [We] express the wish that he continue to enjoy . . . 'long stretches of pure delight such as only seamen can know, the moments of high, proud exaltation that only a discoverer can experience...
Demoted Cardinal. A deal with Rome's Thetis Films (makers of TV's Orient Express and International Police) has made it possible for Lerner to film the series in Italy. But the idea is his own and came to him one morning when he remarked to his wife, "Hey, how come there are no swashbucklers on TV?"

Late one night in his Paris apartment, Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber, editor of the weekly L'Express, got a polite phone call from a French policeman.

Neutralism v. Isolationism. In France, where many newspapers are helped by hidden government or party subsidies and many are corrupt, L'Express is a postwar journalistic oddity. Confident, alert Editor Servan-Schreiber got the weekly off to a fast start a year ago by printing in its second issue a parliamentary report on Indo-China that the shaky government had asked other papers not to print. L'Express grew steadily, now runs some of the leading writers in France. Editor Servan-Schreiber is a friendly critic of U.S. foreign policy, bridles at being called a "neutralist," and says...
