...unpredictable Alphonse Juin in Morocco in 1951, "is to make war−and I am making war." There were others who thought his job in Morocco was to make a peace possible−but then, Alphonse Juin was always a man of stormy views. The son of a French policeman in Algeria, Soldier Juin followed his profession with vigorous abandon from the moment of his graduation from Saint Cyr, declaring war on virtually everybody who opposed him. Cleaving first to Pétain after the fall of France in World War II, he later switched to the Allied side...
...policeman is rarely popular, but reputable makers and marketers of foods and drugs are deeply grateful to FDA for bringing peace and order to a once chaotic business. Its top job has traditionally gone to career men, and industry has violently opposed any attempt by politicians to make it a patronage plum. Current FDA boss is George P.

On the other hand, the fans' dances are far from intimate-the wiggling 12-and 13-year-olds (and up) barely touch hands and appear oblivious...
...wait for the state investigation. At that point the Oregon Journal-which had been left behind on the story except to play up denials and countercharges-leaped to the foreground. Langley sent official raiders, accompanied by Journal reporters (but no Oregonian staffers) to the home of an ex-policeman named Raymond F. Clark, who had made the tapes for Racketeer Elkins. They found some 30 more tapes, made at Elkins' bidding. The Journal splashed the story of the raid on its front page; the Oregonian buried it in the sports section. Last week, at Langley's urging...
