...weeks, bloodless-state of balance could not last indefinitely, for two great forces were in a deadly duel to determine the fate of France. Defending the Fourth Republic was testy Premier Pierre Pflimlin, armed with constitutionality and the tough internal security forces commanded by stooped, whitehaired Interior Minister Jules Moch.* On the attack were the insurgents of Algeria, armed with the bulk of France's effective military strength and the full-throated approval of the Algiers mob. Off to one side, waiting for a summons to take over, stood towering Charles de Gaulle, whose fortunes rose every time...

...Powers last week put to its first testing the euphoric spirit of Geneva. In grey, upholstered chairs behind their microphones sat the delegates to the U.N. Subcommittee on disarmament: the U.S.'s Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. and Harold Stassen, Britain's Anthony Nutting, France's Jules Moch, Canada's Paul Martin and the Soviet Union's Arkady A. Sobolev. Before them on the U-shaped table lay the problem that had teased and baffled the subcommittee through 50 gainless sessions in twice as many gainless months: how to control the production...
