Still, the gist of the U.S. message, the precise nature of the U.S. proposals, were kept closely guarded. De Gaulle, probably with secret delight, since it so suited his own habitual taste for melodrama, solemnly informed his Cabinet that at Johnson's request...
...youth of Britain and France have the same blue-jeaned bottoms and fright-wig haircuts as their U.S. contemporaries, and they dig the same big beat and atonal balladry.

But the problem is: what should lawyers call her? "My Lord" seemed confusing at best, while traditionalists cringed at the sound of "Mrs. Justice." After grave deliberation, the Lord Chancellor's office has duly issued its decision: henceforth, Mrs. Lane will be Mr. Justice Lane, and may indeed be called "My Lord." "There simply isn't any precedent for calling...
