...French think that the U.S. is a military threat to Europe. Some Frenchmen even profess to like Americans. Expatriates often hear such remarks as: "We think the general is being too tough on you, and we don't all share his feelings."

While some newsreels rented for as much as $1,000 a week in their heyday, theater managers now pay about $50 or less. The managers find it more profitable to schedule an intermission instead of a newsreel and give patrons a chance to buy popcorn and 200 candy bars...
