...Esthetic Factor. As U.S. voters have been known to do, many Europeans reached their choice by tortuous paths. Some Italian anticlericals favored Roman Catholic Kennedy because he would "tell off Cardinal Spellman and set an example to our own Christian Democrats." France's tabloid Paris-Jour, after rhapsodizing over Jackie Kennedy's French ancestry and artistic leanings, declared with evident approval that she "wishes to admit to the White House the Latin Quarter, the quays of the Seine and Montparnasse." The Quai d'Orsay remembered Kennedy's explosive 1957 speech calling for independence for Algeria...
Some 45 million Frenchmen got mildly shattering news from the tabloid Paris-Jour, which published a scoop that Cinemactress Brigitte Bardot will end her movie career within a year. "I've had enough of the life I'm leading," Paris-Jour had BB saying. "I'm 25 years old. In ten more years, adieu to youth. So I want to enjoy it a little and say adieu to the cinema and practice the profession I like best in the world." Breathless readers then learned that Brigitte's favorite profession is one of the world...
...raconteur of such Parsons-Hopper-Lyons-Kilgallen glimpses of the jet set at play is not named Louella, Hedda, Leonard or Dorothy.

Ferde's 1933 Tabloid Suite, inspired by the New York Daily Mirror, was even scored for typewriters. The San Francisco Suite consisted of four descriptive movements-"Gold Rush," "Bohemian Nights," "Mauve Decade" and "1906-1960"-all of them as cliché-ridden as any Mirror Sunday feature. But the composition was stuffed with enough acoustical effects to keep any Grof...
...next two days, while the police shuffled their feet in the background, the family negotiated with Eric's kidnapers. Another letter arrived; there were at least two husky-voiced phone calls with additional instructions. France's press was beside itself (announced Paris' tabloid Paris-Jour: "See pages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. 7, 14, 15"). Roland Peugeot went on TV to plead tearfully for his son's return: "Everyone who has children and loves them will understand me. I have not brought charges and have asked that the kidnapers not be trailed...
