His illness, first diagnosed in 1981, the year he took power, resurfaces in lurid detail this week in a book - written by his personal doctor, Claude Gubler - originally banned by a French court in 1996 for breaching the President's medical privacy.

...Head: You’re 10 minutes late for section and it’s in Yenching. Don’t fret, don’t look in the mirror. Bed head was hot on many a Parisian runway. Put on your Sevens and a vintage tee and be on your way. If you’re really daring, you can even throw a leaf in your hair like Undercover designer Jun Takahashi (though you might get weird looks from your Japanese TF?...
