...Black propaganda," she replies sweetly. On her right at table 33, André Pacatte bursts into the Marseillaise as a U.S. Army band plays the French national anthem. Before and after the war, Pacatte ran the Berlitz school in Washington; during the war he used his language skills behind German lines in France and Italy. He recalls taking a 14-hour plane flight with Donovan and a group of shell-shocked American flyers returning home for psychiatric treatment...
...supporters and the concerted challenge from such early entries as Connally and George Bush by delaying all serious campaigning. But now he too must enter the action.

Running considerably behind Reagan and neck and neck with John Connally in the polls, Baker hopes to break away from his rivals in the primaries in Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana. Since surveys indicate that he arouses less hostility than either Reagan or Connally, he thinks he can emerge as a compromise candidate. But he is not as well organized as fellow moderate George Bush, and his staff, led primarily by Tennesseans, is inexperienced in national politics...
