...likely to present a greater challenge to an American ambassador during the coming years than Paris- where the man representing the U.S. will have to cope with the rapidly evolving community of European nations and the stubborn aspirations of Charles de Gaulle.

Gavin in Paris, President Kennedy chose a handsome, seasoned career diplomat who has already made his name as a Russian expert: Charles E. ("Chip") Bohlen, 57, Ambassador to Moscow from...

...Late last month, mercurial Planemaker Georges Hereil, 53, father of the Caravelle jetliner, walked out as president of France's nationalized Sud Aviation In disgust over government interference with his plans. To succeed him as boss of the Continent's biggest aircraft producer, the government last week chose Air Force General André Puget, 51, recently eased out as chief of the French General Staff for his foot dragging over De Gaulle's Algerian policy. It will not be smooth going at Sud Aviation either for Puget, a quiet, amiable St.-Cyr graduate. Though Sud Aviation made...
