...With reference to your cover story of your Armed Forces [April 11] may I, as a Canadian Forces officer who has worked closely with members of all your services since 1952, be allowed to comment. The officers and NCOs of the U.S. forces with whom I have served are serving you-the U.S. public-extremely well. Your DOD is indeed the Department of Peace and I believe there are too few citizens who share the dedication to their country that your servicemen do. To be able to raise forces (under the threat of the draft) as professional, responsible and dedicated...
TIME has had frequent occasion in the past few years to speculate on the future of France and the rest of the world après De Gaulle. When mirage became reality on the evening of April 27, our correspondents were well-prepared to cover the cataclysm. Sensing in advance that France would say non to the general, Paris Bureau Chief William Rademaekers, a veteran European reporter, had assigned six correspondents-all French-speaking-to cover France's leading politicians, four major provincial cities and news sources in the capital...
This week's cover story on Georges Pompidou, De Gaulle's likeliest successor, goes beyond the present political turmoil within France to examine the reasons for the general's defeat, the mood of France in 1969 and the prospects for change. The story was written by Contributing Editor William Doerner and edited by Senior Editor Jason McManus, who, as TIME'S Paris-based Common Market correspondent from 1962 to 1964, covered Britain's first bid to join Europe and De Gaulle's abrupt rejection of that effort...
...journalists, covering President De Gaulle was almost as arduous and frustrating an assignment as reporting on mainland China from Hong Kong. One of the most expert Gaullologists in the business is Curtis Prendergast, now TIME'S London bureau chief, who contributed to this week's cover. During a nine-year term in Paris, Prendergast accompanied the general on ten tours of France's provinces and two dramatic descents on war-torn Algeria, as well as on ceremonial visits to Senegal, Mauritania, Greece, Mexico, the West Indies and Cambodia...
TIME'S first cover story on De Gaulle ran in the issue of Aug. 4, 1941, when he was the obscure, if fractious, leader-in-exile of Nazi-occupied France. Since then he has been the subject of nine other TIME cover stories and appeared last when he said non to devaluation of the franc. His successor could hardly match the general's flair for making news-or, for that matter, his disdain for the press. Reported Paris Bureau Chief Rademaekers: "One covered De Gaulle from a distance-like a moon shot. Journalists invited to visit the Elysee...
