...That fact???and the country's deliverance from the threat of a paralyzing constitutional deadlock?eased tensions not only in France but in Western capitals. "Now no one will be able to say Mitterrand is a prisoner of the Communists," said French Political Scientist Pierre Hassner. Nothing underscored the sense of relief as graphically as the reaction of the Paris stock exchange: within days of the first-round voting, values on the Bourse gained back 7% of the 30% lost after Mitterrand's election. The ailing franc, too, was showing signs of stabilizing...

Stage Whines. Anxiety seems to be the dominant fact???and is threatening to become the dominant cliche?of modern life. It shouts in the headlines, laughs nervously at cocktail parties, nags from advertisements, speaks suavely in the board room, whines from the stage, clatters from the Wall Street ticker, jokes with fake youthfulness on the golf course and whispers in privacy each day before the shaving mirror and the dressing table.
