...N.L.F. Despite its demands last week for its own name plates, license plates and flags at what it calls the "Conférence a Quatre"-a four-sided conference-the N.L.F. has not convinced Charles de Gaulle's government of its independence. The North Vietnamese cars bear the green-and-orange plates of the corps diplomatique. The N.L.F. has an ordinary black-and-white French license plate. South Viet Nam maintains a legation in Paris. The North Vietnamese have the lowest diplomatic status available, that of a mission. The N.L.F. has no status at all. Because the N.L.F. delegates...
...capture the feverish, nightmare quality of the experiences Bacon depicts, he has developed what is essentially a surrealist dream style to near perfection. Every brush stroke bears the mark of absolute conviction, from the fields of poison green and fetid lilac that deck his backdrops to the calculated white ejaculatory splats that he lashes across the legs of his subjects.

They outnumber B.P.'s own chain in Britain (4,900 stations), will bring B.P.'s worldwide total to 36,000 stations. To pay for them, B.P. has worked out a scheme that is fancier than Sinclair's Dino Dollars game. Because...
...Peril who does everything but say "Die, Yankee dog"; it is inconceivable that he could be melted by any gesture of the Vatican. And David Janssen, as a TV correspondent covering the Vatican, is even more awkward among the red hats than he was as a journalist with The Green Berets. Before the Pope straightens out her life Janssen's wife (Barbara Jefford) accuses him of spending the night with a girl friend. "You really pick a helluva time to bring that up," he says. "I'm on the air in 47 minutes...
