...patriots" represent the number of signatories that George Wallace needs to place his name on next spring's primary ballot as a third-party candidate for President. Last week, behind the body-blocking of a dozen armed Alabama cops, all of them still on the state payroll, Wallace campaigned from San Francisco to San Diego trying to win support for his American Independent Party. Accompanied by a country-music troupe and cheered by older, working-class whites, many of them emigrants from Dixie, Wallace served up his set harangue against "perfessers, liberals, social engineers and all those people...
...benign Pompon finally took charge. He urged the U.N.R. to open itself up to all those "who are in agreement with us about the direction of the future." The delegates, many of them owing their jobs and appointments to Pompidou decided little beyond changing the U.N.R.'s name to the "Union of Democrats for the Fifth Republic" (De Gaulle had forbidden the use of his name "even in adjectival form" in any party title). As to the direction of the future, Pompidou and the other speakers left that vague, no doubt for fear of infringing on the prerogatives...
...nine-year rule of France, President Charles de Gaulle has often enough demonstrated his unique mastery of the power of negative thinking. Last week, in Press Conference No. 16, he surpassed himself. "In 100 minutes," as Paris Le Populaire tidily summed it up, "General de Gaulle in the name of France called for secession of French-speaking Quebec in Canada, tossed England out of Europe, threatened the Common Market with destruction, called the U.S. the principal enemy and suavely knifed Israel." But the broadside effort took its toll. The general's skeins of rationality grew considerably tangled in spots...
...Gaulle era than Georges Jean Raymond Pompidou, 56, the onetime professor of literature and investment banker whom De Gaulle thrust untutored into French politics as his premier in 1962. The only man in his Cabinet that the general deigns to call by his first name (everyone else, both friend and foe, refers to the premier as "Pompon"), the bushy-browed Pompidou has long been De Gaulle's unspoken choice to succeed him. De Gaulle would never, of course, detract from his own image as France's absolute ruler by openly endorsing Pompidou. But in his press conference...
...opera house. The maid hums Schubert lieder while brewing coffee. The shopkeeper can debate the baton technique of leading conductors. Throughout Austria, everybody seems to be caught up in music, whether as a cultural pursuit, political issue, spectator sport, historical tradition or simple daily pleasure. Other countries may name their streets after composers, but Austria must be the only place where a crack train is called the Mozart Express, and where the national airline has planes called Beethoven, Schubert and Bruckner. Even affairs of state become insignificant next to the true national passion; today, the directorship of the Vienna State...
