...done it again! Here is my theory: De Gaulle wants Pompidou as his successor. He requests Pompidou to resign, with this idea in mind, allowing Pompidou to disassociate himself from the most unpopular problems faced by De Gaulle.

"quack, quack!" the captain replied; "after all," he added, "i was only following my own little order-phrame of mind," said humpty the dumpty, who, by this time, had been mistaken and identified mistakenly as one of those participating in the standing under the miss from baltimore. "you duck-egg!" the tommygunner burst out, "how can you talk of ORDER! a point of order! a point of order! mr. share...
