...village of Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises, waiting for France to send for him. But from "authoritative sources" and "persons who have talked to the general within the last 48 hours" came a rash of inspired stories on his political intentions. Their burden: De Gaulle had in mind "only a short term of office," and if he got it, would confine himself to settling the Algerian war and reforming France's constitution. The idea that he might embark on hair-raising adventures, such as pulling France out of NATO, was ridiculous. Fact was, chorused the "authoritative sources," that De Gaulle...
...bring us money." When the Traveler once tried to cut down its outsize headlines, says Managing Editor Hal Clancy, "our circulation went to hell. We have to have them." Fighting for street sales, which comprise up to 40% of average sales, the Globe packs the front page with short leads, which leap helter-skelter to inside pages...

But the legislature would have to be called by Segregationist Almond, who last week said: "We have state laws which we believe to be intact, and they will be applied in an honest effort to save public education from chaos...
...long-range decline of the whooping crane can be traced to progress and the ensuing process of swamp drainage. A more recent short run problem has been the happy hunter who blasts away and, to his later regret, destroys one or more Grus americana.

Since breeding wild in west-central Canada is a slow and dubious process at best, zoo breeding is a major hope...
...short, they want to steal Josephine's eggs. And while it might seem worthwhile to breed the whooping crane in any way possible, notice should be given to the Fish and Wildlife Service (we know what they do to trout when they get the chance) that some things are sacred and that Josephine, for one, should be able to stand by her rights. That is, Josephine should sit one, her own eggs. She laid them, she should hatch them. Better the species should perish than Josephine should be denied the full satisfactions of motherhood...
