...miserable over the loss of Malle. She moved from her old apartment in the Latin Quarter to a house in Versailles, and took stock. She was 30 years old, and what did she have? Offers of films. A pen for signing autographs. An occasional friend. It was a bleak time and she considered giving up films altogether. But her life was fully committed to the rhythm and whirl of moviemaking. And if she wasn't an actress, after all, she was very little else. She brooded over her situation for ten months, and then she met Fran...
Despite its handicaps, Gambia's future is not unduly bleak. Premier David Kairaba Jawara, 41, a British-educated veterinarian ("There's not a cow in Gambia that doesn't know me personally") who turned to politics five years ago, is a no-nonsense democrat and competent administrator.

Hess was sent to Spandau after being convicted of war crimes at Nürnberg, and over the years rumors of madness cropped up again, fed by his refusal...
...government has already built thousands of classrooms, and 20,000 low-cost housing units are under construction. The oil controversy has held down the U.S. Government loans that he needs to implement his social schemes. Nearly two-thirds of the country's 11 million people live in the bleak Andean highlands; more than half are illiterate, and one-third of the 3,000,000 school-age children still have no schools...
