...pondered the mystique of power. Last week, true to his own egocentric reasoning, he applied his maxims in a government shift that dumfounded his countrymen, angered the Gaullist party and raised doubts in France about the wisdom of his future policy. In what was perhaps the most ungracious ouster of a head of government since Germany's Wilhelm II fired Bismarck in 1890, De Gaulle dropped his old friend and loyal helper, Georges Pompidou, as Premier.

The company owes $1,600,000 to the United Automobile Workers Union on a note bearing a payment date that has already been postponed from April 2 to April 25. It owes another $1,200,000 to a group of institutional investors, including Investors Stock...
Later there was a second riot, and 2,000 women staged an anti-Robles march. This week the Supreme Court is scheduled to meet and make a deci sion about the legality of the National Assembly's ouster proceedings. After that, the national guard, the final arbiter in Panamanian politics, will either stick by Robles, back Delvalle - or step in and assume power itself...
