...have eyes like dirty ice and mouths as inviting as tombs. The young men have subdued ties, three-button suits and Ivy-covered vocabularies. Together they make up the modern Mafia that inspired "Lucky" Luciano, Murder Inc. and The Brotherhood...
Lack of Impartiality. Far more serious is the fact that L'Osservatore has not changed to reflect the new, mercurial character of modern Catholicism. During the Second Vatican Council, L'Osservatore generally carried only the official communiqués issued after each day's session, which were masterpieces of noncommunication.

Blitz's basic notion was to provide "total escape" from the complications of modern society. Even today, none of the club's villages have telephones in the rooms, television or even newspapers. Members wear sport clothes, bikinis or sarongs, and hardly anyone carries around any money. The club's youthful employees, recruited from France and other countries, wear no uniforms, accept no tips and mingle freely with the guests. The emphasis is on food and fun. The club serves hearty if standard French cuisine-langouste à la parisienne is a typical dish-and an unlimited quantity...
