...nations in production, growth, construction of housing and salaries, leading Europe only in inflation and taxes." Leftist Candidate null Mitterrand aimed his best shot of the week at the force de frappe-"a waste of money that would be better spent on schools." Rightist Jean-Louis Tixier-Vignancour denounced Gaullist parsimony at home while French francs are flowing into foreign aid.

The election rules give each candidate a total of seven appearances totaling two hours (plus another two hours on government radio as well), and despite Gaullist restrictions that might have hobbled the campaigners, the first round of opposition appearances has been surprisingly effective...

Nov. 4 is the feast day of St. Charles Borromeo (1538-84), an Italian cardinal and church reformer possessed of a Gaullist profile, an imperious manner, and a bent for catechizing. Moreover, St. Charles, like his namesake, was once the target for an assassination attempt -by a disgruntled monk whose order he had attempted to control.
