...West's foreign ministers gathered to welcome Germany as the new member of NATO, that feeling had taken on a compelling political impetus. The U.S.'s John Foster Dulles was soon closeted with Britain's Harold Macmillan and France's Antoine Pinay in the Quai d'Orsay, in a meeting later joined by Germany's Konrad Adenauer...
...familiar to the semi-destitute outcasts of royalty, forgotten Zizi Lambrino reared her son Mircea and dreamed of the day when he might be declared Carol's rightful heir. Mircea learned artistic bookbinding and made his modest way by peddling his skill among the booksellers along Paris' Quai de la Tournelle. In 1952 Zizi died.

His elevation to Foreign Minister...
...study programs." Frankly, the question is not one of maturity. If you had fifty-six hours in your day, you might possibly locate an official of the University (We doubt it: we know a mature Harvard student who passed an hour aux halles looking for a classroom at 34. Quai du Louvre); but gracious are the French are, it would be impossible that individual consultation be granted each of the thousands of foreign students inundation Paris annually. Courses that the unguided, unsuspecting American students choose are rarely suitable, because the French university system is aimed at French students who have...
