This merely contributes to the outrage of French motorists. France has an exquisite network of roads, lined with noble colonnades of trees. They run straight as arrows from one picturesque village to another.

...outside eye, this chariot full of gold seems to be hauled by a troika of executives, and there is considerable uncertainty as to who is lead horse. There is handsome, coldly decisive James Aubrey, president of the CBS-TV network, who last week anted up $28.2 million for TV rights for the 1964 and 1965 National Football League regular games, outbidding both NBC and ABC.
