...Pretty Lace. Before calling Menderes, the prosecution attempted to set the scene by offering in evidence a pair of lace-trimmed silk panties found in his office safe in an envelope marked "historical records." Sneered Assistant Prosecutor Fahrettin Ozturk: "Now we know how tirelessly Menderes worked for the nation and why he used to say he was too busy to attend the National Assembly." On the stand, Menderes, haggard from five months' imprisonment, admitted to having had an affair with the singer, but denied being an accomplice to murder. "I never saw her face after the death...

Here and there through the colorful throng could be seen the somber black habit of a nun. Remarkably little feminine chatter disturbed the solemnity of the occasion: the twelfth International Congress of Midwives...
...major disappointment was at De Gaulle's failure to produce any new ideas for ending the Algerian fighting. At week's end, as the General moved slowly through Britanny on one of his periodic tours to test his hold over the French people, bagpipes skirled, women in lace caps strained to grasp his hand, and adulatory crowds joined him in emotional mass renditions of the Marseillaise. But back in Paris sobersided Le Monde sadly warned: "France has no chance of playing the role she legitimately claims in the world as long as this wound of Algeria is open...
