Lady of the Lake. The N.L.F.'s first quarters were on the Boulevard President Roosevelt on the western outskirts of Paris, but fighting the traffic from there to the headquarters of the North Vietnamese delegation, in the Red-belt suburb of Choisy-le-Roi, proved nearly as difficult as a trip down the Ho Chi Minh Trail. The N.L.F. soon moved to the Chalet du Lac, a rented villa ($1,200 a month) in the sleepy, suburban town of Verrières les Buisson, eight miles southwest of the Paris city limits, but only 15 minutes' drive from...

Self-conscious to a fault, integrated commercials never show a Negro as a heavy or in a menial position. Nor are blacks ever afflicted with bad breath or body odor. Kool cigarettes, for example, casts a Negro actor as a bright young trial lawyer; Viceroy casts another as a bright young stockbroker. Schaefer beer has a junior executive type who plays hand ball at the club with a white friend, who throws his arm around his shoulder...
