Deserters quit Paris as US antiwar exile wanes
In Paris a community of American deserters once over 200 strong dwindles as political tensions and day to day hardships rise. Deserters formed the American Deserters Committee with support from Sartre-backed advocates, but France now pressures departures. Sweden lures deserters for easier life and access remains limited. Meanwhile in Dallas, Vincent Depillis and Nell O’Connell, both over 70, reunite after 30 years apart and remarry on a whim sparked by a Christmas card.
