Under Beuve-Méry's omnipotentiary guidance, Le Monde has become one of the best newspapers in the world. Damned over the years by conservatives, Communists, conformist Roman Catholics, European Federalists, Atlantic-Pacters and the U.S. State Department, Le Monde is read by them all. Indeed, it is virtually essential reading for anybody wishing to stay informed on the significance of events in France, not to mention other parts of the world.

The show's ingredients come in the familiar Dropout Kit-anti-Viet Nam, pro-pot, anti-haircuts, pro-four-letter words.

All my writings published from this day onward will bear the signature "A. Anatol." I request you to regard only such works as being mine...
...Medical students are ball bearings-smooth, round, all alike and never creating friction." So said an admissions official at a New York medical school a few years ago. There are still many aspiring physicians who are politically conservative and personally conformist and whose overriding concern is the second Cadillac. This summer, however, as many of the nation's 35,000 student doctors begin summer programs or internships, there is friction aplenty, and a new, rough-edged type of student activist is very much in evidence...
