Consumed with their own internal political feuds, the French seemed almost oblivious to some of the dangerous consequences of a leftist victory that would bring not just a change in leadership and policies but a mutation in the nation's economic system (see box). In addition, it might produce a constitutional crisis involving Giscard and a Socialist Premier with conflicting ideological views. There was the possibility too that France might become the first major Western European nation in 30 years to install Communists as heads of government ministries, a prospect that could only embolden the left throughout Europe...

Long frustrated by the legal appeals of environmentalists, fishermen, beach-front homeowners and hoteliers, the nation's energy companies at last will begin drilling for oil and gas off the Northeast Coast by early summer. The oilmen won a hard-fought victory last week when the U.S. Supreme Court, by refusing to hear an appeal of a lower-court decision, signaled a go-ahead to exploit acreage near the Baltimore Canyon, which lies 50 to 90 miles off Atlantic City, N.J.
