...Howard faction of liberals crystallizes, so does an anti-Howard clique of conservatives, and the short-fused passions of left v. right detonate. Playing Zola to Howard's Dreyfus is a man of good will and strong character, Lewis Eliot, the upper-echelon bureaucrat and first-person narrator who either dominates or "I" witnesses most of the Snow novels.

Paul Delouvrier, 45, was known until last week as a top civil servant and a skilled economist. After serving in the Resistance, he went on to high-echelon positions in the French Finance Ministry. Almost every U.S. loan to France from 1947 to 1953 (some $800 million) was in fact largely negotiated by Delouvrier.
