In Rome, where the family mystique is known as Kennedysmo, cab drivers cheered him and the paparazzi clicked their shutters as if Sophia were the target. In Paris he placed a bouquet on Marshal Alphonse Juin's coffin. France Soir captioned its picture: "The young lion of politics before the body of the old soldier."

...destroy and demoralize civilians; it is guerrilla tactics and terror that attempt this. Writes Dr. Paul Ramsey, professor of Christian ethics at Princeton: "If the guerrilla chooses to fight between, behind and over peasants, women and children, is it he or the counterguerrilla who has enlarged the legitimate target and enlarged it so as to bring unavoidable death and destruction upon a large number of innocent people...
