People Without Patience. Houphouet-Boigny's idea of a new French Union is some variety of federation, and his model is Britain's neighboring Gold Coast, run by his fellow tribesman Kwame Nkrumah. But Houphouet-Boigny is well aware of the difficulties of providing "freedom" for a territory that is 13 times the size of France, divided among more than 1,000 tribes speaking 600 different tongues, many of them still so primitive that only five years ago a native elected to the French Senate was murdered and eaten by his Ivory Coast constituents.

Naked Paint. When Manet sent his picture to the Salon, the model's nakedness was what seemed to shock the public. But the nakedness of the painting itself was what shocked Manet's fellow artists.

This non-profit organization has financed the further development of Photon by soliciting contributions from 200 to 300 firms...

Sol Randall, 36, a $60-a-week restaurant cashier, tried to explain Yolaine's attitude toward their $186-a-month suite at the Century. "To her, the apartment on Central Park West was society stuff, the 400," said Sol. "I tried to move out-it was too expensive for me. She said she wouldn't live out of the Century. She said, 'When I tell people I live at the Century that means...
...acquitted of the assault charge, but Yolaine's separation suit dragged on for six months, in three courts (sighed Sol: "I thought, how stupid. Here we are educated people. Well, at least we have a veneer"). Meanwhile, to keep up the rent payments, Yolaine Randall took a modeling job (sneered Sol: "All she can model is coats. Have you seen her legs? They're horrible"). Meanwhile, Sol got a job as cashier at the Brass Rail restaurant...
