...scheme and thus forever afterward barred from any De Gaulle Cabinet. His appointment now is designed to still criticism of the government's heavy-handed manipulation of the courts, though the assignment is liable to bring him into conflict with a Gaullist minister who is staying put: Raymond Marcellin, Minister of the Interior and the government's main law-and-order...
Next, Poher asked Interior Minister Raymond Marcellin to reduce the number of policemen blanketing Paris on riot standby. He thought that they were a partisan element as well, tending to give credence to De Gaulle's oft-proclaimed prophecy that after his departure chaos would ensue. Then he dismissed Gaullist Jacques Foccart as Secretary-General for African Affairs. Knowledgeable Frenchmen were delighted: Foccart's African designation was in fact a façade for his job as boss of the Gaullist "Barbouzes," a thuggish lot of secret police and informers...
Manet's The Artist, though painted only eight years before his death, is a provocative contrast to the broadly stroked, flatly patterned pictures that any gallerygoer can identify across the room as a Manet.

Frenchmen think he looks exactly like Ed Wynn, they are not sure whether he is insane, and they are always ready to read reams about the latest exploit of Hippolyte Marcellin Philibert Besson, the famed "Incredible Philibert" (TIME, Dec. 23). It is incredible but true that in hard-headed France, M. Philibert has got away with printing a fantastic international money which he calls the Europa Franc and which he manages to spend in the shops of his native district of Haute Loire which sent him in 1932 to the Chamber of Deputies.
