...Tour. President Valery Giscard d'Estaing, who is scheduled to begin a six-day U.S. tour next week, surely did not care to be reminded of the growing strength of the French left, and Schmidt's remark about "old forms and old attitudes" could hardly have pleased him. When he took over the Elysee Palace almost exactly two years ago, Giscard hoped to bring about in his seven-year term a smooth transition from the encrusted look that French politics had assumed after 16 years of Gaullist domination...
...ghor-not to mention the prescribed attack of gastroenteritis, glimpses of giant cape buffalo bellowing in the moonlight and a cargo hold full of souvenirs in the big U.S. Air Force 707. Then Henry Kissinger, increasingly caught in the political crossfiring back home, climaxed his two-week African tour with a series of sweeping proposals to help bridge the gap between the world's rich and poor...
...seemed far more interested in improving her relationship with Iranian Ambassador Ardeshir Zahedi, 48. Taylor, who first met the bachelor ambassador at one of his lavish capital parties last month, arrived this time as a guest in his sumptuous embassy residence.

It was McCartney, as much...
...White House history seemed like a Yankee Doodle dandy idea. And 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue would have the services of Leonard (West Side Story) Bernstein, Alan Jay (My Fair Lady) Lerner, a Bicentennial theme and almost $1 million in backing from the Coca-Cola Co. Alas, a pre-Broadway tour met with disastrous reviews. Despite considerable reworking, when the show opened last week in New York City it was plain that Coke had bought fizzle, not fizz. Observed TIME Theater Critic Ted Kalem: "The British burned the White House in 1812, and Lerner and Bernstein are running the fire sale." After...
