...agitator in Africa looks with hope to Dag Hammarskjold." In Paris the right-wing L'Aurore asked: "Do we understand that in the Congo the first objective is to evict the Belgians and the second to re-establish on his cardboard throne this astonishing Lumumba?'' Paris-Jour, echoing the feeling of those Western Europeans who see Europeans in Africa raped, robbed and murdered by what they regard as ungrateful subjects, sneered at Hammarskjold as the "chief of an international supergovernment exclusively at the service of the Afro-Asian countries that have sworn to humiliate and humble Westerners...
...them, it was largely unfamiliar territory. So far, the most common preliminary response was to find more similarities than differences between the two candidates (see cartoon). More maliciously, Paris' satirical Le Canard Enchainé saw the election as "Tricky Dicky v. Johnny the Pinup Boy." And Paris-Jour called it a "fight of middleweights." On the strength of their own interests, their instinctive prejudices and a considerable amount of downright misinformation, the nations of the non-Communist world last week were starting to choose up sides...
...Esthetic Factor. As U.S. voters have been known to do, many Europeans reached their choice by tortuous paths. Some Italian anticlericals favored Roman Catholic Kennedy because he would "tell off Cardinal Spellman and set an example to our own Christian Democrats."

So I want to enjoy it a little and say adieu to the cinema and practice the profession I like best in the world." Breathless readers then learned that Brigitte's favorite profession is one of the world...
...next two days, while the police shuffled their feet in the background, the family negotiated with Eric's kidnapers. Another letter arrived; there were at least two husky-voiced phone calls with additional instructions. France's press was beside itself (announced Paris' tabloid Paris-Jour: "See pages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. 7, 14, 15"). Roland Peugeot went on TV to plead tearfully for his son's return: "Everyone who has children and loves them will understand me. I have not brought charges and have asked that the kidnapers not be trailed...
