When the present French Assembly expires, all France-and most of the rest of the world, too-will find it easy to contain its grief. In 4½ years, the Assembly has overthrown six governments, spent one week out of every five bogged down in a Cabinet crisis, tabled more than 13,000 bills while approving less than 1,000.

His chief regret, said Scelba mildly, was that he had been overthrown not by parliamentary votes but by party maneuvering...
