...Radiance. Across the English Channel, however, the Johnson image is still contesting unsuccessfully with unfamiliarity, indifference, and fond remembrances of the man he replaced. In Paris, where Johnson is dimly remembered as the Kennedy emissary who paid France a grinning visit in 1961 and distributed ballpoint pens, the press has not yet tried to take the measure of the new President. Most papers have kept a slightly mystified and slightly hostile silence, as if they did not understand the newcomer and hardly cared. "A homogeneous mixture of merits and cunning," cabled the Washington correspondent of Le Monde in a recent...
...league, like children sashaying around in grown-up shoes. Not so David Stacton, who here recounts with relish and delight a nostalgic encounter between two Old World celebrities at an international film festival. Leading man is Charlie, a writer rich but long past his prime, an exquisite wit, mildly fond of young men, though he has been married four times.

But, while Franco seems fond of the young prince, he has made no official moves in his direction...
...Saigon-Ambassador Lodge. His chances were looking up in Oregon (see following story), and his popularity elsewhere was indicated by a Gallup Poll that last week matched him against Nixon, found that 57% favored Lodge, 36% Nixon, with 7% undecided. Because many Republican professionals are less than fond of him, and because of his identification with the stalemated war in South Viet Nam, Lodge may not last the full course. But so far, he is the G.O.P. phenomenon...
