...most extraordinary scenes ever staged at Orly airport. At 4 a.m., almost all the members of the French Cabinet lined up like an honor guard to greet Charles de Gaulle. They had hardly expected the predawn arrival; but then, they had hardly expected their President to stir up such a fuss in Canada that he would have to take French leave and hurry home...

There are as many as 195 guests to greet, seat, serve ancj-within reason-sate, and the girls must perform like a whirlwind combination of Jean Shrimpton, Gwen Cafritz, a short-order cook and a nurse for all ages. One Western Air Lines time-motion expert, for instance, has figured out that on an 85-minute flight with...
