...Slapped Face. In yet another gloomy portent for the future, De Gaulle-who this week celebrates his yoth birthday-was finding the Fifth Republic's hand-tailored governmental apparatus increasingly balky and unreliable. In the National Assembly, despite their awareness that they would surely be outvoted, opposition Deputies introduced a motion of censure protesting De Gaulle's cherished bill to create a French nuclear force. Even the trial of the men who led last January's right-wing insurrection in Algeria backfired when the nine-man military tribunal granted "provisional liberty" to ex-Paratrooper Pierre Lagaillarde...
...both glad and mad in Madrid. His hair cropped down to a fine nap (to win a bet from friends), Domingín was all smiles upon being presented with a third child, second daughter, Paola, by his wife, sometime Italian Actress Lucia Bose. But his face dropped when local newsstands suddenly blossomed with a Spanish edition of LIFE that contained the first installment of The Dangerous Summer, the account by grizzled Aficionado Ernest Hemingway of Dominguín's perilous rivalry with his brother-in-law, Matador Antonio Ordóñez, on the Spanish bullfighting circuit during...

What changes occurred in the editorial face of the Trib were not always his doing; indeed, White generally skipped the editorial conferences about what to put on Page One as well as the daily conferences about what to say on the editorial page. Said White last week: "I came here with the distinct possibility of staying on permanently. It worked...
...laughed about my so-called 'death' before," he said last year, when his health seemed excellent and he smilingly scotched the sort of morbid rumor that forever comes up in the career of an aging giant. Of course he was not dead. The lines of his face had deepened and the skin had toughened. There was less gloss and more grey in his hair. But this was like seasonal change on a mountain. The basic topography was nearly permanent. He was, after all, Clark Gable...
