...Assembly president rang his silver bell, the Communists and Socialists banged their desks, the Poujadists sang the Marseillaise, and the center looked on in shocked silence. "You are a danger to the Republic," one aroused Deputy shouted at the Poujadists. "Yes-to the republic of cronies," retorted Poujadist Jean-Marie Le Pen. The Chamber of Deputies, which had been stunned to discover the voters of France had elected 53 vulgar persons called Poujadists to their republic of cronies, was trying to get rid of the fellows by other means...
Bitter Man. Returning last fall to his Latin Quarter room with its nude prints, Le Pen installed the new mistress he had picked up in Saigon-an elfin artist with inch-long silver fingernails and two-toned hair (blond on brown). He was bitter about the Communists, about Mendès France's "betrayal" of Indo-China, scornful of France's Deputies, whom he labeled degenerates.

When hurricanes are very young, they are still feeble, and there is at least a possibility that modern cloud-seeding methods (with dry ice or silver iodide particles) can keep them from forming an ordered, destructive doughnut.

When sentences were pronounced (a suspended sentence for Mrs. Silver, eleven to 22 months for the Schwartzes), photographers were able to catch the crying, distraught Mrs. Silver and her husband in vivid pictures...
...first of the great wars, where peace, prosperity, honor and family love composed the air the children breathed. In the big, chestnut-shaded house in Bloomington, Ill., with its adjoining pasture and quiet stream, the blue Dresden kerosene lamps were lit when distinguished guests arrived, and roses stood in silver bowls. It was also a high-minded, rather literary world (Adlai's maternal grandfather was publisher of the Bloomington Pantograph). Young Adlai played charades-once he enacted "a sunbeam on a rug"-and listened to his father's serial stories about two characters called Whangdoodle and Whiffenpoof...
