...those years as "the crossing of the desert," but Chaban-Delmas served without qualm in the governments of Pierre Mendeè-France, Guy Mollet and Félix Gaillard.

This does not automatically mean that Gaullists believe that all of his policies are necessarily excellent. There are degrees in Gaullism...
...brisk pace. "He came up like a mountain goat," said his equerry. At the summit, his appearance touched off a mini-mob scene.

Broadcasters, they said, would grow chary of controversy if they had to worry about a toughened fairness doctrine. In a unanimous opinion, the high court upheld the FCC in both cases. A license does not mean ownership of the air, said the court, "only the temporary privilege" of using it.
