...country was indeed sick of the squabbling politicians who had preceded De Gaulle and whom he had witheringly described as the old hacks whose only concern is with "their own little soup pot on their own little fire in their own little corner." The French took a modest pride in De Gaulle's nuclear force de frappe, which presumably gave the nation a voice among the world powers. It even pleased the often xenophobic French that their gold reserves were sufficient to threaten the American dollar. At least the French man in the street relished De Gaulle...

...call it "instant nostalgia," but others insist that it's just junk. The quest for the artifacts of yesteryear, which has been indulged in by many Americans for years, has now reached epidemic proportions. Behold!

Fortunate is the man who inherits a 1912 Corona typewriter or an Atwater-Kent radio in plywood Gothic style.

...predictable symbol of his generation. Unlike Salinger's Holden Caulfield, with his torrential garrulity, the boy does not get to tell his own story. But his silent vote is profoundly disapproving of Bullet Park and its frangible felicities. He has few dramatically contemporary hang-ups. There is little pot, porn, trans-sex, unisex in Tony's scene...

Love and Money." Witches never do spells for money unless a member of the craft is in definite financial need. Witches do not use psychedelic drugs ("along with pot and fascination"), and the "free colleges for dropouts" have the fat, rich and bored bourgeoisie for the largest part of their student body. My class was not "a how-to course in witchcraft"-there is no such thing, there never can be. There is no such program as "how to be a witch in ten easy lessons." Witchcraft is not folderol-it is the first religion known to man, a very...
