...Algeria and continued war, which do you choose? The response has not varied: 70% have stuck to fighting on, though 400,000 French soldiers are tied up in Algeria and the war costs nearly $4,000,000 a day. Last week, with the revolt still far from the often promised "final quarter-hour," the French Assembly came to a moment of historic decision...
