...were supported by their middle-class parents. By the time it had ended, some 10 million Frenchmen ? or 20% of the population ? had somehow struck at their government, either directly or by stopping work. The depth of discontent was clear to all, and it was only the fear of another convulsive round of riots that saved De Gaulle. In the process, he bargained away the wage curbs of the franc's stability, helping to precipitate the fiscal crisis that followed...
Searching Re-Evaluation. Not since John Kennedy first proclaimed Apollo has the entire space program undergone so searching a reevaluation. NASA's manned flight chief, George Mueller, has even asked veteran newsmen: "Now you tell me how we can sell the country the space program." Other NASA officials fear that too many Americans view the lunar landings not as a beginning but as an end.

Gabriel Vahanian of Syracuse University spoke of the death of God in the sense that the creator...
With Nixon, there is no confusion about which of his remarks can be published and which cannot; there is no difference between his public statements and private remarks. He plays no press favorites, tends to hold the entire corps at arm's length. Newsmen thus have little fear that they will be used, seduced, or played off against one another. If Nixon regards the press as a friendly adversary rather than an auxiliary tool of Government, his relative aloofness also means that reporters must work harder to scratch the smooth White House veneer and find what lies beneath...
