...matter what the outcome, the next National Assembly seemed condemned to reflect the nation's divided political attitudes. Even if the present center-right government managed to survive, it would probably do so by such a narrow margin that any future government's effectiveness and longevity would be limited...
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.

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.
