...cynicism has little power in Magog's private life. He is an emotional slave to Maire, Gog's promiscuous French-born wife. She favors him at her whim, disappearing out of his life for years at a time. All Earth Mother types cause him pain, including Rosa, one of twin girls out of Maire by Gog or possibly Magog himself. In the face of such confusions, Magog's blowsy mother Merry (Old England?) asserts: "We aren't a family, dear; we're just a blood group...
...myriad other product areas. Last week the company named a new president for ITT-Eu-rope, which will have sales this year of about $2.7 billion, some 36% of the firm's global total.- He is Michel C. Bergerac, 39, who is almost as multinational as ITT itself. French-born "Mike" Bergerac is a naturalized U.S. citizen and has a home in Brussels. A Fulbright scholarship took Bergerac to the U.S., where he earned a master's degree in business administration at U.C.L.A. and traveled around working as a hired hand on Western ranches before entering the corporate...
...Harry Goldberg, head librarian at the American Library in Paris, is married to a Frenchwoman and has two French-born children.

Mrs. Michaux's own French-born daughter Carolyn, 22, must now decide whether to move to the U.S. for five years. "The Supreme Court decision was a terrible disappointment to thousands of Americans living abroad," said Mrs. Michaux. "But we hope to win the second battle in Congress." If Congress balks, what Justice William Brennan Jr. called in his bitter dissent the "downgrading...
Halberstam's slender but tough book suffers from lack of biographic detail. Much of his data had to be cobbled together from existing works on Ho and Viet Nam-from Fall, Robert Shaplen, Jean Lacouture and the late Paul Mus, a French-born Yale professor who grew up in Viet Nam. Ho was awfully good at simply dropping out of sight. Too often, as a result, Halberstam has had to make mere chronology do the work of biography. Though he mercifully avoids the rah-rah, gung-Ho, Holy-Ho rhetoric of the New Left, Halberstam makes it clear that...
