The crowd recognized Sanzo Nozaka, who is Japan's No. 1 Communist since the death of Kyuichi Tokuda (TIME, Aug. 8), and two of his henchmen. Looking like a dapper but tired businessman, Nozaka approached the microphone, told the audience that after five years underground he had come back to take up his duties on the Communist Party's Central Committee.

Dapper ex-Foreign Minister Georges Bidault, sniffing revenge (Mendès replaced him during the Geneva Conference), set down his briefcase, happily opened a newspaper.

The galleries were jammed with spectators, among them Mend...
