...hardly Charles de Gaulle's main concern last week. Far graver was the challenge to his authority posed by France's economy. It took the form of a spreading labor strike led by 188,000 stubborn miners concentrated in the grim coal districts of northern France. Three rival unions (Roman Catholic, Socialist, Communist) were out of the pits in a joint demand for a 12% pay boost to compensate for the creeping inflation that has wiped out much of their purchasing power in the past three years...
...they read the headlines, Parisians began to question the official version that Argoud had been betrayed by the S.A.O. How had he been smuggled from Germany into France?

Harvard has lost just two games to Yale in better than a decade of hockey, and the pattern is not likely to change tonight...

Featuring a Cuban band imported from Montparnasse, the club encourages nightlong twisting, and unlike the rival Palace Hotel requires no necktie. The Gstaad old guard are not quite sure they approve; a group of rich young Greeks recently brawled over a girl at a Chesery party, ended by stripping her to her black lace panties. Far more the Gstaad style is the six-year-old Eagle Club, whose 190 lifetime members...
