...Doesn't He Laugh?" For all his military briskness, De Gaulle in private life is a fond family man. Particularly devoted to his daughter Anne (who was born sickly and died in 1948), he and Madame de Gaulle have founded in her memory an institution for retarded children. At the 14-room house in Colombey, where he still spends his weekends, he loves to play the patriarch of the clan, gathering about him his naval officer son Philippe, his daughter Elizabeth (married to an army officer), his three grandchildren, and as many as possible of his 17 nieces and nephews...
...part because of a distant tie to Lolita, many a reader who mixes some books with his comic strips is convinced that a teen-ager now raising temperatures in Dick Tracy (416 papers) is closely related, indeed, to the nimble nymphet. Slinky and scheming beyond her years, Popsie is fond of putting down her lollypop and bussing the cheek of Headache, a slot-machine maker who is not above bussing back. Cries Headache: "Owoo!

Her parents would have recognized the Oriental sign of disgrace...

He has taken breakfast with his wife Helen, a handsome woman decidedly Lippmann's intellectual peer. He has paid brief but fond attention to his French poodles, Vicky and Coquet. He has concluded thoughtful tours of three morning papers, with stops at all the international datelines. Across Woodley Road and through his study windows drifts the gay, playtime treble of his neighbors, the girls at National Cathedral School...
...Greeks have never quite understood why their case did not elicit more sympathy in the United States. The principles for which they fight, self-determination and freedom from colonial rule, have in the past been pre-eminently associated with the U.S., they argue. They are fond of drawing parallels between the eighteenth-century struggle of Americans to throw off British rule and their own efforts today. They strongly resent American use of the word "terrorists" to refer to EOKA, declaring that this group is the Cypriot equivalent of our own "Minute...
