...first time in a decade, French Communist papers, instead of referring to De Gaulle brusquely by surname alone, prefaced it respectfully with the title "General." But this was not all. Abandoning a longtime boycott on social affairs attended by De Gaulle, eight Communist Deputies showed up at a glittering reception given in the general's honor by National Assembly President Jacques Chaban-Delmas, and maneuvered through the crowd until they managed to place themselves directly in De Gaulle's path. Just as they were about to meet face to face, suave Jacques Chaban-Delmas, responding to advance warnings...
...Pakistani twist to the word implies that India is a nation centered on a faith, just as Pakistan is, and that neither has a right to the word-India-that both used to share. Pakistani editors practiced Bharatism so zealously, automatically changing the word India every time it turned up, that they would, for example, misquote President Eisenhower as referring to Nehru as the "Prime Minister of 'Bharat.'

...some privately and some governmentally owned, but all affiliated with the government network, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.). Under its proposed code, the new stations-as well as the old-would be required to provide 55% Canadian programing, stay off the air until noon, reserve two hours of prime evening time for programs of which the governors approve. Private broadcasters see this code as deadly to profits, arguing that 55% Canadian programs would necessarily be of such poor quality that viewers would be driven en masse to tuning in neighboring U.S. stations instead...
