...Cannes Claude picks up Jeanne Moreau in the classic style: they both win on number 17. They have streaks of luck, lose it all, then make a killing, and buy their way into the Jet Set. He gets a tux, she a couple of evening gowns, and they check into Monte Carlo. The luxury, like the poverty, seems hard: there are the same straight lines, the same stark blacks and whites, set off by the flickers of brocade and jewelry. But the hardness is unreal because it has no effect on the people within it. Jeanne lives only...

And wherever it has waged that war, in factories, in laboratories, in shops, over counters and under...
...Charlie Porter found his role. After declaring war on Dominican Dictator Rafael Trujillo, he next turned his attention to seething Cuba. When Fidel Castro invited a group of U.S. Congressmen to Havana on an expenses-paid inspection tour, only Porter and Harlem's Adam Clayton Powell, another have-tux Congressman, accepted. But Castro turned out to be a disappointment ("I've urged him from the first to shave his beard," says Porter), and Porter thereupon looked around for new worlds to explore...
