...word for word like a mimeographed summary handed to the newsmen as they came in. In the constitution of De Gaulle's Fifth Republic, the general had seen to it that as President his would be the right to define France's foreign policy, and his monarchic-type "press conference"-more an audience with an articulate and intellectual head of state-was his chosen forum for doing so. He had a great deal of news to make...
Arriving in Warsaw in June 1958, quiet, spectacled Abe Rosenthal faithfully reported the effects of the Wladyslaw Gomulka regime's relaxation of the Stalinist-type controls that had long choked Poland's political, economic and cultural growth. But when, beginning with a food crisis in October, Gomulka began tightening the economic screws again, Rosenthal reported that trend with equal accuracy.

A Swarthmore graduate, he started out as a New York Herald Tribune Wall Street reporter in 1933. Son of a Stroudsburg (Pa.) schoolteacher, Cub Kintner, a lean, spectacled Hall-of-Ivy type at the time, at first "didn't even know where Wall Street was." But he learned quickly. Though an ardent New Dealer and F.D.R. favorite, able Newsman Kintner developed and retained a high regard for big "business. For five years in Washington, he wrote a column, "The Capital Parade...
