Ironclad Rule. Surrounded by bosomy Gobelin tapestries depicting the life and love of Henri IV and his Italian queen, Marie de Medici, and warmed by the glow of a log fire, Couve kept at his workhorse job. For though the policy objectives of France are laid down in the presidential offices at the Elysee Palace, it is across the river at the Quai d'Orsay, and inside Couve's nimble and encyclopedic head, that the means for action are sorted out and applied...
...troubled island of Cyprus, in beleaguered Aden, and within the threatened Malaysian Federation, in recent weeks the line seemed stretched to the breaking point. Indeed, alarmed at the frequency with which British troops are dispatched to overseas trouble spots, the London Daily Telegraph harrumphed: "Officers who hold the Queen's Commission cannot be air-freighted without ceremony from their lawful appointments.

Very few Harvard boys or Radcliffe girls have pictures of Bogart in their rooms because that sort of thing is looked down upon as "too Big Tenish." They will never forgive John Huston for making Bogey a boozy simpleton in The African Queen. They don't like The Caine Mutiny either: "Queeg is not good Bogey." Key Largo is very good Bogey. And when Bogey pumps five slugs into Edward G. Robinson, the crowd has seen the picture so often that it shouts "More! More!" in perfect unison with his shots...
