Paris, November,
1951: A standard scene in many old movies
has a crowd of reporters rushing from the courtroom or press conference to a
bank of phones to file their bulletins. It happened in real life, too, in the
days before cell phones and the Internet. Here, the phones await reporters
covering a meeting of the United Nations General Assembly at the Palais de
Chaillot.
