Said French Architect Zehrfuss: "They're noted bellyachers...
...married woman and swamped by the first rush of passion. In Awakening, Jean-Baptiste Rossi, 16, told a startling but sensitive story of a love affair between a youngster and a Roman Catholic nun. In The Illusionist (written three years ago) 22-year-old Françoise Mallet, a Parisian housewife and mother, tells perhaps the strangest tale of all, that of a 15-year-old girl who falls in love with her father's mistress.

...additional $625 million aid. The U.S. was willing to give the French $187 million more, and suggested that Paris should try to make ends meet on that. This $187 million is an addition to all other U.S. aid to France, which this year amounted to about $1 billion. Parisian hotheads leaked stories to the papers alleging that unless the U.S. paid up, France would 1) go bankrupt and possibly Communist, 2) pull out of Indo-China, 3) forbid German rearmament, 4) haul the U.S. before the NATO Council for welshing on its obligations.
