...Paul du Feu, 36, British Cosmo's April centerfold pinup (with airbrushed navel), construction worker and estranged husband of Feminist Author Germaine Greer, was in Manhattan 3 to line up a publisher.

Conspicuously absent from the funeral were members of the powerful French Communist Party, whose union-the Confédération Générate du Travail (CGT) -represents the Renault workers. Mindful of the popular backlash in 1968 that made the Gaullists stronger than ever, and still eager to establish their political respectability, the Communists decried the disruptive tactics of the gauchistes.
