Were the two crashes at the same place merely a tragic coincidence? Paris newspapers did not think so, darkly hinted at sabotage. They pointed out that the first plane carried Henri Maux, French government official returning to Paris from strife-torn Indo-China with important documents which he had prepared for an interstate conference between Viet Nam, Cambodia and Laos. Scheduled for June 26, the conference had to be postponed as a result of Maux's death. Also on the first plane: Raymond Rivet of the French Ministry of Finance. Rivet carried with him a full report on drug...
...founders of the World Organization for Brotherhood also heard a moving plea from Belgium's Socialist Paul-Henri Spaak: "If our aims on earth are truly the same, to organize human happiness in ever-widening social justice, we must find the means to put ourselves in agreement on the means and to end our murderous divisions.

...legitimate" pretender, Henri d'Orleans, Comte de Paris, was less fortunate. Moustached Henri, who looks as all French counts should in fiction and many French garage mechanics do in fact, is the great-great-grandson of King Louis Philippe.

Since the war Henri and Isabelle have spent most of their time in Portugal, rearing their children and trying in vain to make a 150-acre farm pay profits. When he heard the news of the Law of Exile's repeal, Henri said: "I intend to settle down in la douce France for good. I want to go first to my family's old Chateau d'Amboise, where I hope to live with my wife and children." Henri's friends in Paris shook their heads in contemplation of the ancient royal chateau's lack...
...young Emperor continued his Chinese lessons, studied Annamite chronicles, browsed through French history, literature and economics. He was especially fond of books on Henry IV, the dynast from Navarre who began the Bourbon rule in France with the cynical remark, "Paris is worth a Mass," and the demagogic slogan, "Every family should have a fowl in the pot on Sunday." Bao Dai put his money in Swiss banks (and thereby saved it from World War II's reverses), collected stamps, practiced tennis with Champion Henri Cochet, learned ping-pong, dressed in tweeds and flannels, vacationed in the Pyrenees, scented...
