Charles de Gaulle's lordly insistence on playing all the international fields has benefited at least one French organization-Agence France Presse. Working under the umbrella of France's cordial relations with some of the world's prickliest countries, A.P.P. men report from 144 nations and territories outside France. Now that the Reuters man in Peking has been placed under house arrest, A.F.P.'s Jean Vincent and René Flipo are the only Western correspondents left at liberty to roam the streets as they please in search of news. An A.F.P. man reports regularly from Hanoi...
Siegel and his associates incubated the soil in a hostile ammoniac atmosphere, and fed it with a nutrient broth. Within weeks, there appeared a strange microorganism, umbrella-shaped, with radiating spokes and a stalk terminating in a bulb.

Salote died in 1965. Last week her son, Taufa' Ahau Tupou, 49, 6 ft. 3 in. and 300 Ibs., formally ascended the throne...
...second lesson is that this alliance is workable, under the Vietnam Summer umbrella. The key is local autonomy. The moderates can have their project and keep the radicals out, as the CNC did. The radicals can do the same. About the only place the moderates and radicals have to work together is in the national office, and although that office is sometimes in turmoil, the local projects go right on functioning as though nothing has happened. It is too early to tell whether all the canvassing will mobilize an effective opposition to the war, but it is clear that...
