...color coordination ("I didn't know a damn thing about color"), took charge of TV operations in February 1958. That July he was named president, with a ten-year sliding-scale contract that pays him upwards of $150,000 yearly. Kintner frankly admits that he applied his ABC formula: canned series, westerns, private eyes-plus quizzes. He knifed Wide Wide World, Omnibus, live dramatic shows (including Kraft Theater).

Thus de Gaulle's promising formula is still little more than a change de language, as L'Express put it a month ago. The parliamentary vote of confidence last week reflected more expediency than conviction; the Deputies knew that the President could and would dissolve the Chamber if he met defeat. The so-called "Gaullists," right up to Premier Michel Debre, generally prefer continued strong prosecution of the war and eventual "integration...
