...aftermath of De Gaulle's turbulent five-day visit, two things were becoming clearer. As a hope and a plan, Algérie Française was dead. The European extremists, whose mob violence overthrew the Fourth Republic, had proved paper tigers.

They include oldtimers and almost-old-timers (Nelson Eddy, Lena Home, currently Dick Haymes and Fran Jeffries) as well as occasional newcomers; recently the room sported the Kim Sisters-three Koreans who sing American and yodel, too. The Maisonette at the St. Regis has a small circle of chanteuses who supposedly appeal to society-Julie Wilson, Vicky Autier et al. The Cotillion Room at the Pierre...
