...grand Charles did not stand so tall at home. In fact, writes Alain in an article sold to British, French and American publications, he could be defined as "henpecked." Alain relates that Tante Yvonne cured her husband's fondness for Scotch whisky by adding coffee to his glass, kept the household account book and slipped a hair between the pages so she would know if the President tried to peek. She thriftily bought the presidential shirts, socks and underwear at the Bon Marché, a sort of Parisian Macy's, and once was heard to remark...
Those nuts were well rewarded. The evening had been billed as one of "jazz for the connoiseur." It was actually more of a jazz potpourri. It began a bit slowly with George Benson and Sunny Murray (or so I was told; the rain and the traffic on Route 128 kept me from getting there on time), but picked up with Freddie Hubbard and his group (unfortunately, so did the rain). It's hard to classify Hubbard's sound; maybe "slight futuristic soul-jazz" comes closest. Two of his pieces--the best two--called "Space Drive" and "Eclipse...

Handsome and brainy, Duhamel is forthrightly Europe-minded and pro-U.S.-and almost certainly headed for frequent clashes with the Cabinet's loyal Gaullists...
...Constitution's guarantees of fair procedure. They also typified what University of Chicago Law Professor Harry Kalven Jr. calls the Warren court's "appetite for action" and its penchant for "taking on tough social questions where the pressures were very high." That penchant has, of course, kept Warren and his associates embroiled in constant controversy. The court has been accused of everything from coddling criminals and handcuffing the police to approving hard-core pornography and banishing God from the public schools...
