When Harriman reached Orly five hours after Thuy's arrival, the welcome was more restrained. On hand were only a few French protocol officials, newsmen and the new U.S. ambassador, Sargent Shriver, who was hurriedly sworn in earlier in the week. Where Thuy's arrival statement was characteristically windy and polemical, Harriman's was crisp and noncommittal. His only barb, in fact, was aimed not at the North Vietnamese but at the French. He reminded them that the first Paris conference he attended helped set up the Marshall Plan, "20 years ago almost to the day." Added...
Hopelessness & Helplessness. Statistics at best can only delineate the bare perimeters of poverty. The sensations of being poor are scarcely comprehensible to the 170 million Americans who are not poor: the hollow-bellied, hand-to-mouth feeling of having no money for tomorrow; the smell of wood smoke that hangs over Southern shantytowns?romantic to the suburbanite, but symptomatic of scant heat and pinchgut rations to the poor; the bags of flour delivered by a well-meaning welfare agency, in a household that has no oven; the pervasive odor of human urine and rat droppings in perennially damp walk...
...fact is that most whites, like most Negroes, still remain outside the civil rights movement, often by choice. The small army of suburbanites that descended on New York City's ghetto districts one recent weekend, brooms and paintbrushes in hand, left most of their neighbors at home in various degrees of disinterest.

The ones who need it are the ones who stayed home...

He accompanied her on a regal six-day tour of Cambodia in November, joined her in February at the Georgia plantation of former Ambassador to Great Britain John Hay Whitney, and escorted her, hand in hand, to Trader Vic's restaurant in Manhattan. Despite their obvious pleasure in one another's company, both have flatly denied rumors of a romance; Harlech says he has disavowed them "a dozen, no, a hundred times" to friends...
...Lola and Baie des Anges, shines brightly through the entire film. Demy's style is a strange hybrid. The superb interiors owe much to Godard (Une Femme Est Une Femme, Le Mepris, Pierrot le Fou) and succeed in filling the cinemascope screen with inventive precision; on the other hand, the exteriors are derivative of American films (with shots lifted from Stanley Donen's Singing In The Rain and Nicholas Ray's Party Girl) and don't always work. Demy's Ray like tendency to pull into high angle results too often in his simply being stranded up there without...
