...vague in a Delphic way, and to some interpreters of the oracle it meant that De Gaulle, despite his decision to dismiss Pompidou, had actually settled on him as his successor in the presidency. Most people felt, however, that it was simply a case of an old man canning a younger potential rival who, in the words of one of Pompidou's aides, "had gotten too big too soon."
