...Laurent and most city councilors boycotted the welcoming ceremonies, and crowds were sparse when De Gaulle's black convertible Simca rolled up in a drumming rain.

Last week, Manhattan's Kornblee Gallery put on display the first Hybrids, their neon tubing aglow as they rotated on turntables like new cars on display. The full-scale models sell for $1,100; compact, desk-sized versions cost $150. Blueprints are available to those who want to build one themselves. There are no plans to come out with a 1966 model...

She lets him drive her Buick Riviera and invites him to her father's luxurious summer home, where one of her donnish young Establishment pals sneeringly trounces him in a tennis match. Tinker ultimately sees himself as the girl sees him-inconsequential and rather desperate, not a galloping individualist who puts down society because it stinks, but a wobbly nonentity who is afraid to grow up and compete for all the dandy, vulgar goodies the world affords...
