...Liberal-Christian government brushed aside Socialists' demands that the Loi Unique be withdrawn, won a vote of confidence 121-83. Those who knew the Premier and his unyielding tenacity predicted that he would fight it through to the bitter end. At 55, Eyskens has lost neither his native Flemish stubbornness nor his passion for cold, precise logic. The stubbornness was vividly illustrated last year when even King Baudouin was demanding his resignation after the Congo was lost; Eyskens held fast, and Baudouin gave in rather than make the squabble public.

The son of a well-to-do family of Flemish descent, he did poorly in school, never considered any work worthy of serious pursuit until he discovered film making. He still writes and edits his films in his living room, with the help of his wife and within earshot of Pascal and his other two children...
