Taxing Life. There is little doubt of voter unhappiness with the general. The shopkeepers of Briare claim that they are being taxed out of existence. Pierre , Renaud, who runs a combination pharmacy and tobacco shop, must pay five different kinds of taxes and fill out separate forms for each. "Those forms," he says, "make for many nights of insomnia." His uncle, Maurice Renaud, who runs an appliance shop down the street, must fill out only three sets of forms but is much more outspoken. "De Gaulle is a liar," he says. "He's too expensive, he has delusions...
...proposals. I found only two people, the mayor and an insurance man, who said they would vote yes.

...Blackburn, chaplain at the university. Although none of the parties to the unusual wedding would talk about it, the evidence was clear that Father Cross, who had been on leave since January teaching at Rome's Pontifical Gregorian University, came back to Detroit last May to marry Miss Renaud, a nurse who had voluntarily left the Sisters of Mercy three years ago. Still refusing to confirm or deny his marriage, Father Cross last week came back again to Detroit, after visiting his brother in Rochester, N.Y., and introduced his new bride to his understandably puzzled family.
