Alternate Choice. If the French voters actually want to get rid of le grand Charles, they now have the perfect opportunity. Former Premier Georges Pompidou has announced that he would be a willing replacement if De Gaulle quit-and in last year's May-June crisis of rioting and strikes, Pompidou provided Frenchmen with an impressive demonstration under fire that he can do the job. There are indeed some indications that the French are tiring of De Gaulle. In the eleventh year of his Fifth Republic, a new slogan is being scrawled on walls and sidewalks in Paris...
...bullying vehemence that only masks a lack of true certainty. Increasingly, American society has failed to persuade its young that experience (hence age) counts for something, and that reasonable patience in the attainment of goals is necessary. The cry is for instant gratification, instant realization of ideals. Rosemary Park, former president of Barnard College, urges adults to "examine their judgments. We will find then that their concern with public issues off the campus is a search for absolutes, an absolute wrong to be righted, civil rights; the exploitation of an innocent society to be protected, Viet...
...Yale Law School ('68) and a Negro, Attorney Stanley Sanders is a prime target for recruiters from the nation's most eminent law firms.

Says Najeeb Halaby, former administrator of the Federal Aviation Agency and now president of Pan American airlines: "There will probably be only one airport in the world ready for the superjets, and only one parking lot, only one set of highways. And," he adds, "they are not all at the same airport...
...good a four-year contest for the first new transpacific air routes to be parceled out in 20 years. Johnson's awards, to six of 18 competing airlines, had left Washington seething with charges of high-altitude politicking and string pulling by "rainmakers," the cocktail-circuit term for former L.B.J. aides who had found lucrative jobs with some of the lines. Nixon promised a new decision "on the merits"; yet he too faced the problem of adjudicating the conflict on terms that would not invite similar charges of political favoritism...
