...defected from the Gaullist U.N.R. Party in order to support the censure. In a highly emotional speech, he damned the Gaullists for letting the situation "pourrir" (go to pot). "Your government," he cried, "had all the forces, all the chances that French governments have always lacked. It took credit for peace, for monetary stability, for increasing investments, for institutions adapted to the modern world. But this government was not able to foresee, to cope.

Behind the article is an as yet unexplored theory which holds that among the ghetto's natural entrepreneurs--the numbers runners...
...citizens who had a new traffic light near their home were balanced off against the votes lost when somebody didn't get the light he wanted. That, and the growing complexity of Cambridge's traffic problems, led to the present set-up whereby councillors can take most of the credit for a new traffic light and ease off complaints onto Rudolph's square shoulders...
