...cart around fraternity row every night. He graduated ('27) with a business administration degree, wrote advertising copy for three years before joining General Electric. In 1939 Johnson left G.E., went to Schick, Inc. under Cordiner. He returned to G.E. in 1944 after a two-year stint with the War Production Board, became a vice president in 1948.

The man who hurls this "J'accuse," Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber, 33, is the brilliant editor of the liberal weekly L'Express and an ex-braintruster of the Mendes-France regime. To a six-month volunteer stint in 1956 as an active reserve officer in Algeria, he brought a young man's sharp nose for injustice and strong palate for raw truths. By his evidence, the Algerian fiasco seems to have entered the phase where a kind of Gresham's law of superheated nationalism applies...
