...sparked the French drive to develop Sahara oil. Appointed one of the "Three Wise Men" in 1955 to look into Western Europe's energy needs, he has led the campaign for European development of atomic power. Louis Armand arguing for Euratom, says Paris' L'Express, "is Saint Bernard preaching at Vezelay on Easter Sunday and leading his listeners off on the Crusade." Though he starts, he says, with "three empty notebooks and a pencil," Armand promises 15 million kw. of atomic-produced electric power for "Little Europe" by 1967. (U.S. atomic-power goal...

The week before the balloting, three lined-up Simone voters came down with the grippe. In silence, at the deciding luncheon, the embattled ladies spooned their bombe glacée. When the voting began, the committee was deadlocked, but under pressure...
...Clift goes lurching through a swamp in search of a magical "rain tree," supposedly planted years before by Johnny Appleseed. Whether the tree bears knowledge, truth or just the makings of hard cider, Clift finds nothing, comes out covered with swamp goo, and perplexes his girl friend (Eva Marie Saint) with his mumblings...
