This week's cover story on Georges Pompidou, De Gaulle's likeliest successor, goes beyond the present political turmoil within France to examine the reasons for the general's defeat, the mood of France in 1969 and the prospects for change. The story was written by Contributing Editor William Doerner and edited by Senior Editor Jason McManus, who, as TIME'S Paris-based Common Market correspondent from 1962 to 1964, covered Britain's first bid to join Europe and De Gaulle's abrupt rejection of that effort...
...Democrat, but not the sort of prominent party man that Nixon had been seeking to give his Administration a bipartisan touch. Hubert Humphrey, Eugene McCarthy and Sargent Shriver all turned down the assignment, which traditionally has had more prestige-and problems-than power. Shriver had seemed the likeliest prospect, but is understood to have run into resistance from his Kennedy in-laws. However, Nixon intends to keep Shriver as Ambassador to Paris, where Yost once served as deputy chief of mission. Yost entered the foreign service in 1930 and, after taking a brief recess for some short-story writing...
Concession to Bigness. The likeliest candidates for this help are children with otherwise normal physiques whose pituitary glands do not produce enough of the hormone. Even for them the supply problem is forbidding. Growth hormone from animals is useless for man unless it is specially processed, and little of this is now produced. Human growth hormone must be extracted, in minute quantities, from the pituitaries of cadavers. Each year the National Pituitary Agency in Baltimore gets about 75,000 of these glands, mostly from pathologists exploring the skull in postmortem examinations. The agency supplies the Hopkins with extracts from...
...Likeliest Guess. Between the two sides there still exists what one Soviet expert calls "a limited adversary relationship." It is not clear why the Russians chose to make some of their conciliatory gestures on nuclear arms. The likeliest guess remains the most obvious: prudent self-interest, a desire to avoid the scattering of nuclear weapons to small nations, and a grim, costly race between the U.S. and Russia to build antiballistic-missile systems. But there is a more intriguing theory-that the Russians acted now because they are concerned about the prospect that Richard Nixon may be the next President...
...figure from the world of conventional politics to appear at student rallies throughout the crisis. He is the most widely admired anti-Gaullist and is regarded by the students as the nearest thing to an over-30 political guru. He is an opponent of the presidential system and the likeliest candidate to head a provisional government should the Gaullist Republic fall. With few seats in the old Assembly but many candidates entered, the P.S.U. should gain...
