...Canard, which has been twitting French governments for years by printing juicy details of scandals involving political figures, promptly pinned the break-in on Minister of the Interior Raymond Marcellin whose office is responsible for all authorized wiretapping in the country. Marcellin's Ministry professed ignorance of the incident. But few Frenchmen were totally convinced. For one thing, a Senate investigating committee reported last month that the telephones of 1,500 to 5,000 people in France were tapped every day on a permanent or spot basis-most without a court order and thus illegally.

...first Neanderthal bones were dug just about the time that Darwin astonished the world with his announcement that man and ape were descended from a common ancestor. Neanderthal's apish image was further enforced by the writings early in this century of the respected French paleontologist Pierre Marcellin Boule. His portrait of Neanderthal as a stunted, beetle-browed creature who walked with bent knees and arms dangling in front of him served as the model for several generations of artists and cartoonists.

Marcellin was reportedly informed that unless more aggressive action were taken against dope smuggling, some French police reports now in the possession of the U.S. government would be leaked to the press. The reports detail the laxity of Pompidou...
...There was no solid evidence of a connection between the Maoists and a rash of forest fires that broke out along the full length of the Riviera last week. Nonetheless, a number of resort owners met at Cannes to form a security force. In addition, Interior Minister Raymond Marcellin reinforced his riot police at the major resorts. His aim, he says, is to turn the Maoists' hot summer into "a cold summer, in a shady jail...
