Last winter and spring, the French Maoists firmly established themselves on the outer fringes of the lunatic left with a series of riots, bomb attacks and a daring caviar and foie gras heist in broad daylight at Fauchon, the epicures' haul grocery of Paris. Next, one of their leaders, Alain Geismar, 26, advised that they make it a "hot summer for the bourgeoisie." Shortly before he was hauled off to jail for inciting riots, Geismar made a tape recording in which he urged his comrades to camp in the gardens of private villas, picnic on golf greens and convert...
...Angeles' Jay Jordan Shoe Stores. Jordan's does, including a high wedgie sandal with heavy straps, all in snakeskin, that prompted one potential buyer to say "I'd rather wear the boxes they came in." The bestseller at Bonwit Teller in Boston is a broad-banded, thick-soled platform sandal.

...cities of America, cancerous sores reflecting most visibly the disease of this nation, illustrate vividly the chaos resulting from the attempts of the OEO to foster broad social change by relying on a structure based on "consensus." The "apathetic" poor, or rather the low income citizens already intimidated by the overwhelming bureaucracy of federal government, responded to a request for "participation" in this new program apathetically; when so-called democratic elections for representation to the directing boards of local CAP's were announced rarely did more than five per cent of the possible voters turn out. And when representatives...
