...enthusiasm that the couple shared throughout their marriage was left-wing politics. Although they never joined the Communist Party, Signoret and Montand were considered two of France's best-known fellow travelers until the Soviets' 1956 invasion of Hungary dashed their faith in the Soviet Union as the wave of the future. They never wavered in their support for human-rights causes, however. Signoret was most recently active on behalf of the "SOS- Racisme" antiracist movement in France. But as she put it last spring, "I have crossed the border into antiCommunism." Summing up her career, Author Max Gallo wrote...

Four days later East Germany announced that Tiedge, who had been responsible since 1981 for detecting East German spies in his country, had gone over to the other side. Although he was in debt and had a drinking problem, some Western experts suspect that Tiedge feared exposure...
...look after him?" For his part, Prince William, 3, maintained his regal composure last week as he became the first heir to the British throne to attend kindergarten. Arriving with the obviously anxious Prince Charles and Princess Diana, William politely shook hands with his teacher and turned obediently to wave a hand at the horde of journalists. Then, without fuss or fidget, the royal pupil disappeared into the basement classroom, where he began an introductory curriculum of paper and clay modeling, painting and music.
