Posted on August 18, 2024 | 2 minutes | 410 words | Kelle Repass

Getty Images At 70 years old, most people are thrilled to settle into a quiet retirement. But fashion designer Betsy Johnson isn’t like most people.

“Why all the fuss?” asked France’s Georges Bidault wearily, as he entrained from Geneva to face a hostile assembly in Paris. “When the game is over, why not merely say so?” The man who blew the whistle was Russia’s Molotov. Ever since he returned from Moscow ten days before, he had dropped his role of forbearing arbiter and become once again the familiar aggressive antagonist.
