...first the story seems to be about Pierre (Hardy Kruger), a shell-shocked World War II flyer who has been supported and nursed back to a precarious stability by Madeleine (Nicole Couriel). She becomes his mistress and, though he remains sullen and distant in his illness, loves him with a half-maternal fierceness. Madeleine struggles towards his rehabilitation so that they may marry and "lead a moral life together." But Pierre secretly befriends Cybele, a twelve-year-old girl who has been abandoned by her parents to a local convent. Pretending to be her father, Pierre takes...
...meal, sir?" asked the manager. Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman, 45, couldn't help blowing off steam, so much in fact that the waitress was summarily fired. And when her case came up for review, Freeman reluctantly confirmed his complaint. She was "very cross, curt and sullen," he wrote in a letter. "My wife, having worked as a waitress, is more than understanding and tolerant. In this case, however, the lady in question was clearly out of line."

So far he has finished the $3,500,000 Kline Geology Laboratory, a medieval keep whose slit windows admit daylight willy-nilly-and which one Yale Corporation member dryly describes as "solid as rock and functional as an electric log." Its fortresslike appearance will be repeated...
...some effects were beginning to show last week. As fear of future food shortages spread, hoarding set in and prices jumped. Sugar, textiles, and tires vanished from shelves, and the piaster, normally worth 73 to the dollar, was being traded for as much as 160. All this produced a sullen mood on the part of Saigon's people, sometimes directed at the Diem regime, sometimes against the Americans. On the eve of National Day, marking the eighth anniversary of the formation of South Viet Nam, rumors spread that mobs might try to storm the U.S. embassy and USIS offices...
