...reading a pastoral letter to the congregation, and crying out: "Enough! Get on with the Mass. We are getting cold." That made him unpopular; besides, the Communists did not build the aqueduct they promised. Chances are, Anticolani will vote Demo-Christian-but not because they support the Atlantic pact or concern themselves with the East-West struggle. A reporter who talked to Anticolani last week found only one who had heard of the pact...
When he reappeared, the Arab world was aflame against Israel, and Ahmed became a big-time organizer of irregular anti-Jewish units. As that failed, he took on a new role: a socialist with a passion for land reform. "A pact with Russia," he cried, "has become an absolute necessity."

Pinay fought back. From his notes in a big cardboard folder he drew some startling statistics. Example: French peasants and the petit bourgeois have hoarded more than 15 times as much gold as there is in the Bank of France. The obvious reasons: 1) Frenchmen distrust their own paper currency, which seems to buy less every day; 2) many wealthy Frenchmen have avoided paying taxes for so long that they no longer...
