...following art classes in Florence, Charlotte Ford, 20, self-starting daughter of Automaker Henry Ford II, came to Manhattan for the best of everything. Hired to help separate the chic from the gauche for the prestigious decorating firm of McMillen Inc., the shapely new Ford breadwinner will toil a five-day (9t05) week, room with two friends in an upper East Side apartment. "Miss Ford," announced her socialite boss, Eleanor Brown, "will have equal rank with our staff members who have had special training in interior design.

Taunting the government ministers with the obvious fact that all important decisions are made by De Gaulle and no one else, former Premier Georges Bidault snapped: "We are the appearance of a Parliament which debates with the appearance...
Fighting sputtered on despite the ceasefire. American pilots stood their planes on their wingtips to swoop down and drop supplies to a garrison of Meo tribesmen under daily attack in the mountain village of Padong, only 20 miles from the Communist "capital" of Xiengkhouang. In one five-day period, 40 Russian planes delivered 80 tons of supplies to the Pathet...
