...months later, reported Bromberger, thinking to impress his chief with the thoroughness of his operation, Wybot marched into the office of the Minister of the Interior with the tapes of the May conversation. The next day he was ousted from his job. De Gaulle's son-in-law declared that Wybot had been "bugging" all of De Gaulle's private conversations for the past 13 years. But what really enraged De Gaulle himself was the fact that Wybot's duties involved only foreign espionage and not internal security; did Wybot therefore consider De Gaulle's patriotism...
Three Uniforms. For spacemen, the seven were remarkably down to earth. Despite the TV lights and the press-agentry at a packed Washington press conference, they showed such a basic earnestness and airman's conditioned self-possession, that 200 hard-to-impress capital reporters lustily applauded them. All were veteran test pilots, skilled in wringing out all manner of aircraft for the design engineers.

The boys--Robert Hatfield, David Kopelman, Norman Fox and Herbert Parsons--have a grand time mostly playing themselves and dancing with the girls; but on the whole they failed to impress...
Actually, McDonald could accept much less. He has beaten down last year's dues revolt in his own union (TIME, Sept. 29), and need not act tough to impress his membership. Nor does he have to bring home a whole ham to keep pace with the wage gains won by other unions. The United Auto Workers' President Walter Reuther settled for a modest increase that poses no threat to steel's position as one of the best-paying big businesses. Steelworker gross earnings averaged $2.88 an hour last year, 35? better than autoworkers and 75? better than...
