FRANCE In the final days of campaigning in the first round of France's presidential elections, the two major candidates seemed to be following The Making of The President, 1960 chapter by chapter. Interim President Alain Poher put away his steel-rimmed glasses that had turned into hundreds of tiny distracting mirrors during his TV appearance, and adopted the horn-rimmed nonreflecting kind. Gaullist Georges Pompidou had his bushy eyebrows trimmed to improve his on-camera appearance and turned on a whirlwind, U.S.-style campaign, crisscrossing the country by helicopter and executive jet.

When Cub Manager Leo Durocher took over the ball club three years ago, he started calling Banks "old grampa" and at one point asked the baseball writers to "knock off that Mr. Cub stuff." Said Durocher...
...impetus be hind the proposals. Land-based airports are already jammed with traffic, and real estate for new ones is scarce and expensive. Even when sufficient open space can be found, local citizens are sure to mount powerful objections to the noise, danger and air pollution of a major modern airport. "A properly located ocean airport," say Gallichio and Dabrowski, "needn't interfere with flight patterns of existing airports or with irreplaceable conservation and recreation areas.
