...Rassemblement pour I'Algèrie Française, intent on narrowing the alternatives offered by De Gaulle to one: complete "Francization" of Algeria. But on a tour through northern France last week, it was evident that Charles de Gaulle had France's masses behind him. In town after town, workers and farmers cheered as the general ringingly declared: "I am sure the French people have approved the determination to solve the Algerian problem by the heart, the soul and free vote of the inhabitants...

One of the nation's top-selling ballads recounts in lugubrious accents the short, unhappy life of a mountain lad named Little Jimmy Brown ("Just a lonely bell was ringing/In the little village town/ 'Twas farewell it was ringing/For Little Jimmy Brown").

Wood, which the Finns call "green gold," is used exuberantly in the playful trusses in the roof and with caressing respect in the solid red pine furniture specially designed by Aalto for the interiors. Aalto can also be intensely practical, as he is in his design for the Lutheran Church at Vuoksenniska, finished earlier this year. Knowing the problems...
