Before long he had an imposing list of honorary sponsors, including French Culture Minister Andre Malraux and Sir Philip Hendy, director of London's National Gallery.

In a brilliant and scathing attack on the old party system, Malraux charged that opposition leaders had not been able to unite to bring peace in Algeria, to confront the revolt of French generals, or to further...
...Malraux ridiculed those who attacked De Gaulle as a potential dictator, reminding France that if De Gaulle had wanted a one-party tyranny he could have had it on returning to power in the crisis year of 1958. Instead, he gave France a new constitution and a strong government. In a final tribute to De Gaulle, Malraux said.
