...Federal Trade Commission was harder to sway. Last May it ordered Drug Research to stop claiming that Regimen could cause the loss of a predetermined number of pounds. After the FTC order, CBS carried Regimen spots for 13 weeks last spring and summer, then shed them. NBC continued them, mostly on Dave Garroway's Today show. But last week, 17 months after the FTC had complained that "those taking [Regimen] cannot lose weight without dieting," New York County District Attorney Frank Hogan seized a truckload of Regimen TV film commercials, books and financial records to determine...

A photograph shot at that moment was the most commented-upon picture in the Parisian press last week. When so much hangs on one man, a whole nation anxiously watches him. At 68, Charles de Gaulle's eyesight is failing; without his thick-lensed glasses, he often fails to recognize people who shake his hand, and he suffers momentary blindness when he steps from shadow into sunlight.
