...years passed, Bo's delegation grew as quickly as his stature with Charles de Gaulle. Last sum mer France raised the mission's standing to that of a legation, giving Bo the title of Delegate General and Minister Plenipotentiary. De Gaulle did it mostly to kick Uncle Sam's shins, for Bo had long since had all the perquisites and puissance of a full-fledged ambassador. It was Bo who in January raised peace hopes by saying talks "will" come (instead of "could") once the U.S. stopped bombing the North. Nothing came of it then, although...

"Bookselling," said Fortas, "should not be a hazardous profession." The magazines that Sam Ginsberg sold were admittedly not obscene for adults; how was he to know that they were obscene for children?
