...left, frustration and disillusionment grew, despite its edge in opinion polls. On the right, last week, there was a faint flicker of hope. At a Paris dinner party, a wealthy baron confided that he had just placed a bet of $10,000 with Ladbrokes, the British bookmakers, on a victory for the present government. The odds: 4 to 5.
