There, with their 14-year-old twins, they put their marriage together again. Camus' friend Michel Gallimard, the nephew of his publisher, stopped last week with his wife and daughter on his way from Cannes to Paris. The car he was driving was a sleek Facel Vega, and Gallimard asked if Camus would like a ride to Paris...

The latest scandal brewing is in Cuba, where Fidel Castro agreed to pay $150 each for 24,000 Belgian automatic rifles worth $75 each. The fancy equipment is often short-lived.
