Charles de Gaulle's vision, in which the Continent is also divorced from the U.S., calls for a Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals. Zhukov's view does not stop at the Urals: "Russians are Europeans, no matter what side of the Urals they live on." Yet Russia obviously considers De Gaulle an ally in its European policy, so much so that even his recent fulminations against Communism in France do not bother Zhukov in the slightest. "That's election talk," he says. Nor does he think much of the student radicals who have lately upset...
Speaking to the crowd of 600 in the courtyard of a Paris boys' school, where dilapidated urinals were plainly in view, Centrist Leader Jacques Duhamel drew cheers by asking: "Wouldn't it be better to spend money on schools rather than on the illusionary force de frappe?" In an ironical turnabout, the Communists attacked the Gaullists for their no-holds-barred attempt to win an all-out majority in the National Assembly. "Unlike the Gaullist party," chided Party Chairman Waldeck Rochet, "the Communists do not want power alone, but only to have their rightful place in a government...
...CATV is so useful, why the objections? Opponents argue that the CATV operators gross about $300 million a year (typical charge: $15 for installation, $5 a month service fee) but pay nothing to the people who originate the programming.

Never in the 73 years that Venice has played host to the art world's equivalent of the Olympics had the skirts worn by female artists and Biennale camp followers been so spectacularly brief. Alas, they were almost the only spectaculars on view. Gone altogether were the champagne gaiety, the busy art politicking and the horde of wealthy patrons who normally flock to the chic pre-opening parties in the palazzos along the Grand Canal. Instead, the opening of the 34th Venice Biennale had become a social and artistic shambles. This dubious achievement was yet another milestone in this...
...does not seem to be performing so much as bearing witness to a reality so simple and compelling that she could not possibly fake it. In her selection of songs, whether written by others or by herself, she unfailingly opts for those that frame her own view of life. "If a song's about something I've experienced or that could've happened to me, it's good," she says. "But if it's alien to me, I couldn't lend anything to it. Because that's what soul is about?just living and having to get along...
