...present tariff schedules, only 211 were excluded entirely from the negotiations (among them: petroleum, sheet glass, zinc, lead, safety pins, umbrella frames, briar pipes and baseball gloves). The Common Market kept such items as heavy commercial vehicles and computers (except for those using punch cards) out of the dickering. Jean Rey, the Belgian chief negotiator for the Common Market, called his group "extremely satisfied" with the outcome-a reaction echoed by most governments. Secretary of State Dean Rusk called the results "a fair balance, with some special advantages...
...Jean-Paul Carlhian, the architect for Mather, had hoped to make the exterior terra-cotta tiles attached to the concrete frame by steel hooks. The tiles would have been dark brown, giving Mather's 21 story tower and three low-rise sections a dark, glazed appearance...
...films of Jean Renoir, a protagonist moves through episodic scenes, his actions steadily becoming a means of intense personal expression. In climactic scenes, characters realize the nature of their commitment to life and are able to voice it: a joyous fusion of purpose and articulation.

But unlike the heroes in most Renoir films, Dr.Cordelier(Jean-Louis Barrault) goes about it incorrectly and fails dismally.

Predictably, Opale's appearances become progressively vicious during the first...
