...address to the Assembly last week, Couve de Murville promised "to ease up the structures to provide more abundant and objective information." But the satirical weekly Canard Enchainé was less sanguine. Fearing that many of the most conscientious O.R.T.F. newsmen will ultimately be purged, the journal asked, "Why has De Gaulle pardoned [General Raoul] Salan but continues to refuse to pardon the TV newsmen? Because Salan only took up arms and the newsmen are asking for free speech. Speech is De Gaulle's special domain. One must not forget that he carried out his hardest campaigns...
...affair-just as the Gaullists had done during the December presidential election. Then, last week, the police moved in to arrest Figon, but, they reported, he had committed suicide before he could be taken alive. With that, the scandal could no longer be suppressed. As the satiric Canard Enchainé, right or wrong, put it last week: "Figon committed suicide with a shot fired against him from point-blank range." De Gaulle's campaign opponents, François Mitterrand and Jean Lecanuet, demanded that the truth be told, flayed the Gaullists for trying to cover up the affair...
...walls between the Common Market and the U.S. Since mid-October, the U.S., Britain, West Germany and Italy have changed their leaders, a point that Charles de Gaulle, now the senior Western statesman in point of tenure, has not overlooked.

Unpursued Lead. Despite De Gaulle's indignation, Paris was alive with the rumor that a deal had been made in which Salan's silence was the price of clemency. The weekly Canard Enchainé hinted at such a bargain in an issue published 18 hours before the verdict was handed down. In his statement to the court, Salan made the flat charge that in May 1958, when he was military commander in Algeria and led the army's pro-De Gaulle revolt against the Fourth Republic, he was also prepared to conduct a military operation against...
...devote themselves to the study of John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon. For most of them, it was largely unfamiliar territory. So far, the most common preliminary response was to find more similarities than differences between the two candidates (see cartoon). More maliciously, Paris' satirical Le Canard Enchainé saw the election as "Tricky Dicky v. Johnny the Pinup Boy." And Paris-Jour called it a "fight of middleweights." On the strength of their own interests, their instinctive prejudices and a considerable amount of downright misinformation, the nations of the non-Communist world last week were starting...
