Alienated. What really knocks me out about old Joe is he is a moron just like I was when I got the axe at Pencey Prep. I mean he's really irresponsible. My Aunt Nina wants him to be a Disraeli or something, but Joe's ambition is to be a khutmul Mao. If you must know, that's a person rich Hindus hire to lie in their beds at home while they go on holiday so the bedbugs will have somebody to bite. Joe's a terrific liar, so you never know when...
...Shut up, you moron!" roared Gaston Defferre, 56, a Socialist Deputy and mayor of Marseille. Those were fighting words to Gaullist Deputy René Ribière, 45, and after all the political caterwauling had died down in France's National Assembly, he confronted the Socialist to demand satisfaction. Despite friends' pleas to forget the nonsense, Ribière chose swords, they both chose seconds and met next day at noon in suburban Neuilly. "This is not a comedy," growled Defferre.

Those who converse in the "flip jargon" have...
...vacation began to pick up. In Seville's magnificent bullring, Spain's three leading toreros, El Cordobes, Paco Camino and El Viti, all bypassed Princess Grace, offered their hats and first bulls to Jackie in homage. In response, she hastily dispatched a U.S. embassy aide to nearby Moron Airbase for three Kennedy half-dollars, which she slipped inside the hats before returning them. Though she turned away when the picadors lanced the bulls, she watched each pass of the bulls with fascination. "This is the first time she has really understood bullfighting," said a friend.
