...crossed her legs and yawned. A journalist stood for an instant's breath of air, sat back down on two lady buyers who were clawing for her chair. Actress Jeanne Moreau blinked drowsy eyes and flicked waves of ashes to the rug. Vicomtesse Jacqueline de Ribes swung black-mesh-stockinged legs, started a fad, and smiled her best-dressed approval. Outside, snow fell softly on the streets of Paris, and there were some who talked of De Gaulle and the Common Market. But inside, up and down the length of the gilt salons, the talk was only of hems...
...Common Market countries, which by then will have adopted uniform external tariffs, are in no mood to wait until 1967 to move ahead with the next stage of economic integration. The commission's planners have presented a daring new program for the next six years that will inextricably mesh the economies of the Six and clear the way for the final goal of a politically united Europe...

Each is dressed in a padded leather torso jacket, but except for steel-mesh goggles and noseguard, the head is vulnerable. Now each lad lofts a yard-long rapier with blunt point but sharp edges. At the umpire's "Los!" (go), they slash away-again, again, again-steel against steel for 15 minutes. The noise, astonishingly, is deafening. When steel slashes flesh, a doctor rushes in for repairs. Everyone happily retires to toast the prize...
