...plane and Rhine river boat. De Gaulle made contact indefatigably for the next five days. Police officials, terrified at the ever present prospect of an S.A.O. attempt to assassinate France's President. blanched at his indifference to security precautions. In Bonn and Cologne, De Gaulle pressed against police lines, shaking hands and murmuring. "Guten Tag, guten Tag." In Hamburg he scorned a limousine that the city fathers had just had bulletproofed for $3,000, insisted on riding in an open car instead. Cops with walkie-talkies endlessly scanned the crowds. Doctors and nurses dogged the President's footsteps...
...cartoon, in a satirical French weekly, shows Charles de Gaulle all gussied up in Louis XIV garb as he packs a herculean suit of armor and Cyrano-sized nosepiece for a sally across the Rhine. "Madame," says the general to his wife, "will you please not forget my pajamas." No Dish Twice. But France's President will have very little time for sleep in the course of a strenuous six-day visit to West Germany this week.

As Baako and his German sweetheart careen from the valley of the Rhine to the hinterlands of the Zambezi, the common indignities, predictably enough, cluster upon them like cattle flies. But when she says, "I know a lot of men who aren't half the man you are, even though their skin is the same color as mine"; and when he feels "inferior...
...Justice for violation of the article in the Civil Code forbidding indecent exposure. But this is no scabrous little burlesque of the type so common during the period, meant to titillate the lubricious instincts of the week-end visitor to Paris from the other side of the Channel or Rhine. If La Brige reveals a Chaucerian part of his anatomy to 13,687 passers-by, it is through neither perversion nor delight in gratuitous undergraduate mischief. His morals are sound, his logic impeccable, his devotion to Justice--true Justice, that is,--beyond question. For, as he protests in his defense...
