...government's concern was reflected in a massive campaign. Finance Minister François-Xavier Ortoli promised no new taxes this year. Defense Minister Pierre Messmer announced that the government was considering lowering compulsory military service from 16 months to twelve. The Ministry of Interior prepared 29 million pamphlets explaining the referendum-one for every voter in France. Applying what has always before been the clinching argument, Minister of State Roger Frey drew a frightening picture of a France without De Gaulle: "To vote no or to abstain is to vote for the Communist Party, to compromise France...
Elsewhere, the choices were a similar mixture of predictability and surprise. In Paris, liberal Archbishop François Marty joined a long roster of Parisian cardinals despite recent rumors that he had turned down the red hat. In Africa, where the Pope will visit next July, there was now a third black cardinal-Archbishop Joseph Malula of Kinshasa, the Congo-as well as Jerome Rakotomalala in the nearby island republic of Malagasy. Presbyterian Scotland got its first resident cardinal in four centuries, Archbishop Gordon Gray of St. Andrews and Edinburgh. And Western Canada was given its first cardinal ever-popular...
Each film by François Truffaut is a paradigm of innocence. The 400 Blows and Jules and Jim were about the destruction of innocence. Shoot the Piano Player and The Soft Skin described its dangers, and Fahrenheit 451 was its vindication.

In Madwoman, Giraudoux conceived of a vicious, filthy-rich, top-hatted capitalist cartel that discovers oil under a bistro called the Chez François and is prepared to desecrate all of Paris to pan for the black gold. But the eccentric owner of the cafe, the Countess Aurelia (Angela Lansbury), thwarts these evil malefactors of great wealth. With the aid of two loony cronies and a sewerman (Milo O'Shea...
...leader of the research team was Andrew T. Weil, 26, a senior medical student at Harvard who graduated last summer and is now an intern at San Fran cisco's Mount Zion Hospital. Weil hopes to make a career of research into drugs that influence the mind. With marijuana, he learned?the hard way?about some of the research difficulties involved. Pos session or use of marijuana is illegal, except by hard-to-get federal dispensation. Universities are skittish about sponsoring research that might incur public or congressional criticism, and it took Weil a frustrating year to get the study...
