Familiar Dilemma. When the presidential lists officially closed last week, there were seven candidates. The others: Communist Jacques Duclos, 72, Socialist Gaston Defferre, 58, who named ex-Premier Pierre Mendes-France as his running mate and future Premier, insurgent Socialist Michel Rocard, 38, and Painter-Writer Louis Ducatel, 67, campaigning as an independent gadfly "individualist."
