...making. After Kennedy was assassinated, Salinger lost election to a Senate seat from California; bounced around a few uncongenial executive suites in the U.S., England and France; and helped manage George McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign. After that debacle, he fled to France, jobless. Publisher Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber immediately hired him for L'Express in 1973, shortly before the Watergate story broke. Salinger's ability to make that long and intricate crisis comprehensible to a nation of Cartesians won him a wide following. Says Salinger: "It was the start of a whole new life...
...daily Express. Sunday Express and Evening Standard. Now Sir Jimmy has struck at the other end of his London-Paris axis: for $6 million he has purchased a 45% share in L'Express, France's largest newsweekly. The magazine's founder, gadfly Publisher-Politician Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber, and his family will retain 55% of the magazine's shares; but J.J. S.S. has given up the board chairmanship, and Goldsmith, as chief executive officer, claims he will have effective control...
...Jimmy says he was invited to buy into L'Express because it needs both cash and pizazz. Servan-Schreiber, 53, had used his magazine as an ideological soapbox for President Valery Giscard d'Estaing -whose centrist political strategy was badly mauled in last month's local elections (TIME, March 28). Largely because of the magazine's predictable politics and occasional drabness, some readers have shifted to a sprightly, aggressive rival, Le Point. While L 'Express still sells .twice as many copies as Le Point, circulation has slumped by some accounts from...
...trade in arms has been limited to conventional weapons, but that too may change. Denouncing the "monstrous logic" of his country's policy of exporting nearly any weapon to nearly any nation, Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber, publisher of L'Express and head of France's Radical Party, fears that the day is fast approaching when Paris will sell atomic arms. The U.S. has provided half a dozen nations with planes or missiles capable of delivering a nuclear punch, as have the Soviets...
Future Tests. If Servan-Schreiber's ideas were clear, so were Giscard's. During his campaign for the presidency he had repeatedly stressed his support for the force de frappe without ever hinting that he would stop this year's atmospheric tests, although he has since said that future tests will probably be underground. Thus it appeared from the beginning that Giscard and Servan-Schreiber were on a collision course with political reality. It seemed inexplicable that Giscard had not obtained from Servan-Schreiber a pledge to voice opposition only within the Cabinet...
