...hero, Gorton had a habit of flying high. He made headlines when he showed up late one evening at the U.S. embassy, a 19-year-old girl in tow, and spent the next several hours all but ignoring U.S. officials in favor of an enthusiastic tête-à-tête with the young lady. A short time before, he had carelessly leaked word of the U.S. bombing halt in Viet Nam before the news had been released in Washington.

The effect of this scene...
...society, and the last thing it wants is austerity. The evidence of that attitude is almost everywhere. The France of sunny sidewalk cafés and smoky boîtes is now, also, the France of 536 Wimpy hamburger mills, dizzy discothéques and monumental traffic jams. Vacationers on the Côte d'Azur looking for bargain accommodations now stop at modern motels as well as at the traditional spartan pensions...
