...Giscard is unprecedented as a First Lady in other respects. Mme. de Gaulle, known to her countrymen as "Aunt Yvonne," was something of a bluenose who strove to keep French newsstands free of "sexy" magazines. By contrast, Claude Pompidou, 62, gave chic parties for le tout Paris and dressed in the latest fashions. Mme. Giscard has little interest in clothes. During the campaign, she wore the same sweater-over-blouse combination so often that it started to look like a uniform...
When Bonjour Tristesse appeared in 1954, Françoise Sagan became a 19-year-old member of le tout Paris and an instant international celebrity. The world soon learned that she drank a lot of Scotch, loved to play chemin defer and drive Jaguars in her bare feet. The characters in her subsequent books, among them such bestsellers as Aimez-Vous Brahms? and A Certain Smile, tended to be beautiful, languid, bent on self-destruction. They were often driven by pangs of ennui, whose meaning in French implies more cosmic pain than its English translation ("boredom") can possibly convey...
Jacobs has no problem boosting his product, despite its price (sandals, shoes and boots sell for between $23.50 and $42.50 per pair); buyers constantly tout the comfort of Earth Shoes.

...much is still in question-to restore the dangerously frayed lines of communication across the Atlantic. Jobert and Kissinger, who seem to have a genuine liking for each other outside the conference room, met privately in Kissinger's 16th floor Hilton suite and emerged smiling and joking. "Tout va bien [All goes well]," Jobert told reporters. Indeed, at the weekend summit meeting of Common Market chiefs of state in Copenhagen, Kissinger's visit seemed to have a lingering effect. Originally called as almost a show of defiance against the American giant, the summit was noticeably devoid of anger...
Some of the Watergate myths have already been dispelled. For example, no amount of invective or evasion from Ron Ziegler could continue to sustain the claim that Watergate was a "caper" pulled off by seven crazies out on tout who just happened to be employees of the CREEP. That myth is now as "inoperative" as Mr. Ziegler. Yet most of the Watergate mythology remains and much of it is widely believed...
