...truth is that the republic which Pflimlin sought to preserve from civil war is in itself a kind of permanent, institutionalized civil war. Since the fall of Napoleon III in 1870, France has solved the political conflicts among its citizens by settling for a government without a head -a government in which no single group could ever acquire enough power and responsibility to carry out a consistent long-term national policy. The bourgeois and petty bourgeois "republicans," who believed that the supreme end of social life was the self-gratification of the individual citizen, were left free to evade their...
Springing directly from the hearts of the people, balladry is a form of human expression that contains "beauty, truth, and relevance." Since it is transmitted orally, balladry provides important clues to the history of the epic; the late Milman Parry, a Harvard philologist, devoted his energy to the recording of Yugoslavian folk ballads of legendary heroes from the lips of tavern minstrels...

Last week Betsy von Furstenberg was on trial for shooting her "husband" on the pretext that she mistook him for a prowler. The prosecuting attorney, in real life Manhattan's Seventh District Assemblyman Daniel Kelly, had built up a damaging case against her. "It all looks very black for us, but wait until I take the stand!" she cried. Verdict's lawyers get just as engaged, lose their tempers in "court," on one occasion...
