Mail order courses in Rosicrucian mysticism had given him a new creed.

...Mature Mail. Riklis's own managers have already learned how to live with the boss's engaging eccentricities.

Power blackouts forced Parisians to dine in cafés by the flicker of candles or the glow of gas lamps. About 150,000 workers marched along rain-splattered streets to the Place de la Bastille. Students crashed the demonstration...
