That man seemed almost certain to be former Premier Georges Pompidou, a stocky, graying bon vivant who possesses perhaps more solid credentials of intellect and experience?if not on the historic scale of a De Gaulle?to take over his country than any other Western political peers. The engineer of most of De Gaulle's last triumphs, the administrator of France's return to order after last spring's chaos, Pompidou was unceremoniously dismissed from office by De Gaulle in July. From the role of rejected dauphin he moved skillfully to become a visible alternative to De Gaulle's rule...
THOSE SAUSAGES hanging in ZumZum are fake; I asked the waitress--they're all very friendly--and she told me that they're made of some very solid, very heavy material. This sounds to me like a pretty accurate description of what they actually serve. Unless you like German food--about five different kinds of wursts--it's best to stick to the frankfurter with sauerkraut, a big juicy hotdog for 35 cents.

He was the first newspaper reporter to pin down the exact makeup of the Nixon Cabinet, detail Nixon's plans for handling his personal finances while President...
Senior Dick Benka, who hasn't lost in a dual meet since his sophomore year, is a solid shot put favorite, and Richie Szaro could easily dominate the javelin throw. Szaro, the Harvard record-holder, outthrew teammates Frank Champi and Henry Bernson, both former record-holders, by 3 feet in the Greater Boston meet...
