Life Upside Down. Slight, smiling Jacques (Charles Denner) seems to be an ordinary little man working in an ordinary little real estate office in Paris. He lives with Viviane (Anna Gaylor), an ordinary little model who loves to look at herself in commercials and magazine ads. While taking a bath one afternoon, Jacques experiences a kind of ecstasy of self-absorption so powerful that he fails to notice that Viviane has come home and is chattering away at him. Later, he feels something of the same blissful detachment when he leaves a group of friends in a restaurant and begins...

His response to Washington's cancelation of his June visit showed that-when his country's pride was involved-he had spunk. Shastri flew off to Canada and viewed the U.S. from the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, told reporters that he could not come to the U.S. this fall even if Lyndon Johnson wanted him. (He may very well come next spring.) Shastri has maintained his aid arrangements with both the big powers. The U.S. this year will give him $110 million...
