...General de Gaulle may shock," said the usually pro-Gaullist Paris Presse-L'lntransigeant. "They should not surprise." De Gaulle remained grandly aloof. "There is no De Gaulle problem," said a presidential spokesman, "but a Canadian problem." The government claimed that the Canadian visit was a total success since it focused world attention on a Canadian problem too long submerged and glossed over. "I could not have done otherwise," DeGaulle confided to an aide after his return. "I would have failed in my historical role...
Taut Crossbow. The Calder is not an unmitigated success, partly because it was necessary to blunt its knifelike edges with heavy reinforcements to enable it to withstand the brisk winds that blow off the St. Lawrence. It suffers, like most Expo sculpture, from comparison with the bizarre silhouettes of the pavilions. Nonetheless, most fairgoers like Calder's Man. Murmured one miniskirted coed, gazing up at it last week: "I like the strength and the way it springs up. It has power, like a human being. Flowers spring up, but not in the same...
Ringo Cycle. Leone called the flick A Fistful of Dollars. Basketfuls of denaro would have been more like it. The film outgrossed Mary Poppins and My Fair Lady in Italy, will net an estimated $10 million on its $250,000 investment in worldwide distribution.

The result is one of the year's most fascinating-and briskly selling-classical albums; released in the U.S. on an Angel label, it has sold 15,000 copies in six weeks. Menuhin plays two ragas worked out by Shankar (the rest of the album is given over to a solo by Shankar and a performance of Enesco's Sonata No. 3 by Menuhin and his pianist sister Hephzibah). On the first, a violin solo, Menuhin spins...
Flair for Marketing. That was before an enterprising Spaniard named Isaac Carasso began turning it out commercially during World War I. In 1929, in Paris, he opened a plant named Danone for his son Daniel, and called its product "the Dessert of Happy Digestion." Success was modest until the mid-1950s, when Danone caught the public fancy. In 1958, in the Paris suburb of Plessis-Robinson, Danone opened the world's largest yogurt factory, where 350 workers are able to turn out 1,600,000 pots (211,000 quarts) of yogurt a day, seven times as much...
