All but six of the 25 were French men and women-teachers, mathematicians, TV producers, actors-who had betrayed the government of France not for money but out of an idealistic fervor of their own. One of the defendants, pale, thin France Binard, had lost eight members of her family in Nazi concentration camps. She said grimly: "I answer fully for what I have done.

If a wife answers, this Adam-teaser hangs up with the shocked...
...Soviet-Khmer Friendship Hospital." matching anything in Moscow itself. Staffed by 18 Russian doctors and medical technicians-Cambodia itself has only a handful of native M.D.s -the new hospital was equipped with ten air-conditioned operating rooms, a cobalt "bomb" for cancer treatment, a hairdressing salon, room telephones, and pale blue potties in the children's wards...
