...liveliest battle is being waged in France, where Democrat Alfred Davidson and Republican Evan Galbraith have signed up for a debate at the American Art Students League. Johnson headquarters are in a handsome, red-carpeted apartment on the Place Vendóme, where Chairman Davidson has received more inquiries about who gets the apartment after the campaign is over than anything else. The Johnson committee in Paris includes Novelists James Baldwin, Mary McCarthy and James Jones, as well as lawyers, journalists, businessmen and the wives of OECD and UNESCO officials...

"They make a deafening noise," murmured Lord Simonds...

In one Vendée town the curé himself told his congregation: "You have a good laïque teacher, but even if she were a saint, you should not send your children to her." The teacher soon found that children would turn from her in the street, and that farmers refused to sell her butter and milk. In cities the tables are often turned: a child returning from confession...
