...French are rarely consistent, but they are usually logical-in their fashion. From the lycée onward, millions of Frenchmen are exposed to the classic symmetrical syllogisms of cartesian logic; as a result, a Frenchman tends to dismiss whatever he disagrees with not because it is intrinsically wrong but because it seems wrongly reasoned. "C'est pas logique."-roughly, "No one in his right mind would think like that"-is a favorite saying. To the vast numbers of middle-aged who feared continued social upheavals, to the little old ladies in black who considered the old ways best...
...Plagued by a heart defect, Barbara Triano entered New York City's Van Etten Hospital in 1960 for tests to determine whether she should undergo open-heart surgery. While glucose was being administered to The Bronx woman, the bottle ran dry. As a result, air bubbles were fed into her bloodstream, causing her heart to stop. Doctors revived the seemingly lifeless patient after a minute and a half, but she was left almost totally blind and suffered a severe speech impairment. After eight years, her suit against the city finally got to court; after three days of trial, Miss...

Indeed, France's five Common Market partners, which last year accounted for 43.4% of the country's imports, stand to suffer the most from the quotas...
Quietly Determined. The U.S., meanwhile, was more immediately concerned about the export subsidies, which could put an added strain on its own trade position by increasing the flow of French goods into the country. As a result said William M. Roth, President Johnson's special representative for trade negotiations, the U.S. stood ready to "protect its interests" by imposing countervailing duties on French imports. Both American tariff law and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade provide for such duties; essentially they are designed to increase the cost of imports to offset government subsidies paid on products by exporting...
