With stocks, bonds and Buchwald, the Paris Trib has left other English-language papers far behind on the Continent; the New York Times's slender International edition (circulation about 8,000), printed in Amsterdam, reaches readers a full day or more after the Trib. "Le New York," as the French fondly call it, is more than a daily paper-it is a European institution, like the Flea Market and the Bourse, the Rhine and the Rhone...
...first-stage engine came to life, and the missile left a long white trail behind as it took off on its 700-mile trip down range. Crowed the Navy: "A complete, unqualified success."
