When Harriman reached Orly five hours after Thuy's arrival, the welcome was more restrained. On hand were only a few French protocol officials, newsmen and the new U.S. ambassador, Sargent Shriver, who was hurriedly sworn in earlier in the week. Where Thuy's arrival statement was characteristically windy and polemical, Harriman's was crisp and noncommittal. His only barb, in fact, was aimed not at the North Vietnamese but at the French.

Harriman and Vance may use the now-vacant ambassador's residence, although Ambassador-Designate Sargent Shriver very much wants to get to Paris in time for the big show.

Did that signify a move to weaken the Kennedy forces, a new American approach to the intractable Charles de Gaulle, a fresh approach to the war on poverty, or all of them? Wilbur...
...were ultimately selected. Lieut. Governor Samuel Shapiro, 60, a stocky, reticent campaigner, will go for the governorship, while Attorney General William G. Clark, 43, will have the unenviable task of running against Dirksen. Why had Stevenson been overlooked? "He's already got a job," said Daley. As for Shriver, who is also fully employed running the poverty program, the Kennedy brother-in-law could console himself with reports that he too may have a new job shortly-as U.S. Ambassador to France...
