...While the holding action will not prevent Brown's eventual confirmation, it did embarrass Nixon and anger Senate Republican Whip Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania, the man who had first suggested Brown for the job. Further, Dirksen continued to block the appointment of Dr. John Knowles, director of Massachusetts General Hospital, as an Assistant Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare.

Most of all, of course, the general's departure mattered to France. Most Frenchmen woke up in the first days of what might be called A.D. (After De Gaulle) slightly dazed and a little disbelieving at what they had wrought.

His traditional centers of strength in Alsace-Lorraine and Brittany still produced affirmative votes of 58% and 57% respectively, but the totals were less than in previous elections. The tiny village of Briare (TIME, April 25), a near-perfect voting profile of France in the six previous elections, lost its sole distinction in the seventh by voting 54% in favor of the referendum?almost the mirror opposite of France's 53% rejection. The city of Paris...
