...favored a conference. Kissinger has held out for a delay until the consumers are more firmly united, fearing that countries that are deeply in debt and heavily dependent on oil imports would easily bend to OPEC's bidding. At Martinique three weeks ago, President Ford and French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing struck a compromise calling for a series of meetings: first a general feeling-out between OPEC and the consumers, then a number of meetings among consumers to work out their common position, and finally a tripartite summit, probably this autumn...

"There can be nothing of this kind," Giscard acidly said about Wilson's demands at one heated bargaining session.

...several months now, the elegant salons of Paris' 16th arrondissement have been buzzing with gossip about the private life of French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing. Ever since the Paris daily Le Monde noted his penchant for mysterious nighttime disappearances from the Elysée Palace (TIME, Dec. 9), a favorite Paris parlor game has been to guess where, how arid with whom the President spends his evenings. Palace officials insist that Giscard's nocturnal wanderings involve nothing more adventurous than dropping in on old friends for a drink and a chat. They contend that...
