Pausing in Paris to visit his uncle, U.S. Ambassador R. Sargent Shriver, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., 14, took an afternoon to try out a motor scooter in a brisk, hair-raising spin through the byways of the Bois de Boulogne. On the next lap of his summer work-vacation, Bobby pushes on to Dar-es-Salaam, on Africa's east coast. From there, Tanzanian game wardens will help him in his study of African wildlife-and Bobby will doubtless work with them in their efforts to conserve the herds of elephant, rhinoceros, giraffe, wildebeest and antelope that roam...
There are occasional flickers of intentional humor, as when a cyclist looks inside a shack and wonders, "Who did your decorating, Sargent Shriver?" The best laughs are caused by the scenes of violence, when the Indians decide they would rather be Redskins than dead-skins and beat the living Hell's Angels out of the motorcycle gang.

...huge, 164-member U.S. Embassy in Paris will provide manpower and logistical support for the delegates, most of whom are likely to bivouac just across the street from the embassy at the venerable Hotel Crillon. Harriman and Vance may use the now-vacant ambassador's residence, although Ambassador-Designate Sargent Shriver very much wants to get to Paris in time for the big show. He may be thwarted, however, by the fact that Charles de Gaulle is scheduled to visit Rumania next week, and the State Department wants Shriver to await his return before assuming his diplomatic post...
...Sargent Kennedy '28, secretary to the Corporation, said the President and Fellows have been discussing the new Fellow "quite consistently" since Lamont's death. Kennedy added that in the weekly work of the Corporation, "it doesn't make any difference whether we are six or seven." This semester they have been five. Only three Fellows have been joining Pusey and Treasurer George F. Bennett '33 at the meetings: one Fellow, William L. Marbury, has been ill and unable to make the trip up from Maryland...
