Expansive French. Even the French, whose intransigence has been a leading obstacle to monetary reform, seem less likely to give trouble this year. With the country expected to pursue a more expansionist domestic economic policy now that doctrinaire former Premier Michel Debré has replaced Valéry Giscard d'Estaing as Charles de Gaulle's Economics and Finance Minister, the French will presumably run a smaller trade surplus. If so, France will have fewer dollars to trade for U.S. gold-and should be more inclined to reach an accommodation with the rest of the West...

As if to emphasize the point, Giscard also said that the government will raise $200 million that it will lend to "selected" industries...
...long ago she might have got by with illustrious bones, a rumor of a bosom, reliable cosmetics, and a stomach that could settle on Ry-Krisp and yoghurt, but fashions in fashion models change. These days the girl who can't perform a mean frug might just as well turn in her hatbox. It's a cinch that she will never make the scene...
