Yugoslav youths who used to wear G.I. fatigues and U.S. Army insignia are now being urged to switch to "the Partisan look" -belted tunics styled after the uniforms worn by Tito's World War II guerrillas...
...Philippe keep his original surname. "How," he asks, "will he be able to answer the teasers who say he is not his father's son because of a different name?" Similarly Paulette stalwartly refuses to give up her married name; she loves to call Gérard "mon petit Trognon" at intimate moments. The couple has received letters of support from some 30 other Trognons throughout France in the past two weeks.
