...Hill, where the Russians turned the tide at Stalingrad, De Gaulle peered through thick spectacles at the map of the battlefield. "Ask Voronov how he organized his artillery," De Gaulle asked the interpreter. After the reply, De Gaulle said approvingly: "You are a great artillerist." Still he refused to lay a wreath at the Stalingrad memorial. That recalled his comment to the Russians in 1944 when he viewed Stalingrad for the first time: "Un grand peuple les allenands." Everywhere he went, De Gaulle ate heartily, but at the Volgograd hydroelectric station he met his match. The station officials had prepared...

Says Chief Fug Ed Sanders: "There are too many taboos in society, and we want to eliminate them. Being a Fug is better than being on a peace walk...
...screen or stage, Author Albee's catalogue of the games people play tends to become repetitive, larded with Freudian case history, and building to a fairly preposterous climax. When George and Martha agree to lay to rest the ghost of their nonexistent teen-age son, there is solemn talk about the sterility of illusions, but the real issue appears to be a playwright's need to make his verbal fireworks add up to something...
