FROM another intellectual front, I was happy to hear this week the results of a referendum among French youth conducted by Paris-Presse, an afternoon newspaper in the French capital, on our article, France, the Younger Generation (TIME, May 30), written by Correspondent Stanley Karnow.

When Elinor confided to Clayton that a friend of his had the gall to kiss her, she was heartbroken to hear her husband chuckle. "Did he? Good old Brookie!" Clayton was ardent only for a male heir. When Elinor presented him with a second daughter, he took off for Monte Carlo in a huff and dropped ?10,000 at cards and roulette.
