...Westerners have been allowed to visit Cambodia since the Vietnamese occupation. Last month, however, French Photojournalist Jean-Claude Labbe was permitted to make an unprecedented four-week tour of the country. Traveling by motorcycle and by car, without escort except for a 20-mile stretch near the Thai border, Labbe first rode from Sai- Saigon to Phnom-Penh, where he shot pictures of the devastated Cambodian capital beginning to stir to life again amid the rubble of war. He then drove along Cambodia's main arteries, Highways 5 and 6, visiting twelve provinces in a journey that totaled...
Some French fashion chiefs are indignant. Robert Ricci complains that the assertive American-type perfumes should "only appeal to jet-setters who want to shock." Lanvin's marketing director, Jean-Louis Delpuech, scoffs that U.S. perfume makers have tended "to go 'down market' to a type of woman who demands more smell for her money."

What seems to concern the French as much as the spread of the American scent is the expansion of American ownership of perfume houses. Coty, for instance, is owned by the Pfizer pharmaceutical firm, Pierre Balmain by Revlon, and Jean d'Albret by Max Factor.

...Actress Jean Stapleton might well be considered a new driving force behind the Equal Rights Amendment. Currently on a ten-city tour with a production of George Kelly's Daisy Mayme, she has been steering limousine services onto the road toward employment equality by requesting female drivers whenever she needs a chauffeur. A feminist, Stapleton has been able to have her cake and Edith too. In Boston, two women drivers were added to a once all-male payroll, and in Washington, she was expertly guided through the city's busy streets by Joann Wernke, 24. In Seattle...
...gave orders to found the church, and whether Christ actually rose from the dead. But the interrogators, representing the Vatican, were concerned about an equally fundamental question: the divinity of Jesus Christ as it has been decreed by the church for 15 centuries. One member of the panel, Jesuit Jean Galot of the Pontifical Gregorian University, had gone so far as to accuse Schillebeeckx, via .Vatican Radio, of the ancient heresy of Arianism, the belief that Jesus is less than God because he did not exist eternally with the Father in the Godhead...
