...things to say publicly about the general's plans. De Gaulle realized, reported Couve, that any political meddling on his part "would make it difficult for those who succeeded him." Accordingly, he has "marked his desire to abstain from any future intervention in French political life." Considering the rebuff that voters had just handed to one of his heirs, that is probably a shrewd judgment on De Gaulle's part...
...sing? "I've been singing all my life," was the answer. Will he dance? "No dancing," retorted Muhammad Ali, otherwise known as Cassius Marcellus Clay.

Nabbed by Communist agents on one such mission, she escapes by hiding among a herd of goats. The animals, mostly pets of children in Wyoming where the scene was shot, proved to be unruly hams before the camera. Said the slightly battered actress afterward...
...Disneylands seem to be spreading everywhere. California's people have created their own atmosphere, like astronauts. Yet it could be that the state is not really so different from the rest of the U.S. as it seems: that it is, in fact, a microcosm of modern American life, with all its problems and promises-only vastly exaggerated...
