...more anxious to block the London agreement than the Reds. But last week they sat quiet, letting other government critics do most of the talking. Party Chief Maurice Thorez had warned the comrades: "Above all, dignity." Once Bidault remarked that if Europe was split, it was Russia's fault. Fernand Grenier, Communist deputy from Saint-Denis, rose like an angry bull. But Thorez turned like lightning and imperiously shushed...
