...circulating. The trinkets feature a reproduction of Edsel's rather forgettable front-end design. Two weeks ago, 50 members of the Edsel Owners Club of America rolled into Reno, under a banner reading "The Edsels Are Here," for the club's first Western regional meeting. Last weekend, the 600-member club held its first national convention at the Indianapolis Speedway, while 50 members of the Midwest Area Edsel Club, not connected with the national group, were gathering for a rally at Toledo...

...more violent. Potentially, it is the most explosive time in Czechoslovakia since the invasion itself. After the Moscow-dictated dismissal of the liberal Alexander Dubček last April, the nation gradually sank into the depths of despair and sullenness. The factory workers who a year ago volunteered for weekend "Dubček shifts" without pay, in order to boost production, are today blatantly loafing on the job and pilfering supplies. The slowdown has made a mockery of practically every state-prescribed quota. By the end of April, for example, only 11% of this year's construction targets...

Sorority girls who live on Washtenaw Avenue, for example, still hitchhike rather than walk the two miles to campus, and campus bulletin boards abound with notices of girls seeking weekend rides. Once the fall session starts, campuses will again bustle with mixers, where young men and women traditionally seek to meet strangers. One coed said last week: "We're not talking about the creature from the Black Lagoon. We're talking about a smooth guy −or guys...

Caught by photographers behind a large volume on the life of Napoleon, vacationing Georges Pompidou, President of France, explained that he was doing research for his speech this month at the bicentennial celebration of the Emperor's birth in Ajaccio, Corsica. The President was taking a long weekend with his wife and son at Pointe de 1'Ar-couest on the Brittany coast, his first real breather since assuming office. According to Paris Match, it was practically a second honeymoon: "Hand in hand, they run among the rocks, they go for cruises, and, like all vacationers, they return...
