...Adrian Darby, 26, Home is surely where the heart is-even if Meriel Douglas-Home, 24, does pronounce her name Hume, as in fume. It started to get that way eight months ago, at a performance of Aïda, when he first met the British Prime Minister's second daughter, and now the young Oxford economics don plans to make his name hers.

In fact. Bokanowski was unlikely to do anything more than fume: he is one of the most pro-U.S. members of De Gaulle's Cabinet and, in any case, both French law and the reciprocal trade agreement between France and the U.S. bar him from doing much to curtail U.S. investment.
