...Discontented. Mollet's coalition began crumbling in the first moments of spoils-dividing. Pierre Mendès-France, pouting over the electoral results that made Mollet and not himself the senior partner in their left-wing coalition, could not be Foreign Minister (because Good European Mollet mistrusts the man who killed EDC), and would not be Finance Minister (because Mendès opposes Socialist monetary doctrine). So Mendès accepted the office of Minister of State without Portfolio and went off into a vast chandeliered office, there (Socialists feared) to ponder fresh ways to get back to power...
...play that there are worse things in life than an untouched debutante seems quite convincing. His problem with accent is alarming; allegedly proper Bostonian and Harvardian, his dialect would place him somewhere between Trafalgar Square and Whitehall. But he is agreeably suave, unfaltering, and journalistic. Inger Stevens, the innocent partner, is difficult to confine on one theatre stage. While she must be obstreperous, she loses control completely. She is pretty, though, and in frank talk with Helmore is quite expressive. G.

Mollet linked his Socialists with Pierre Mendès-France's Radicals in a left-of-center Republican Front. On election day the Socialists won 94 Deputies to Mendès' 50, thus giving Mollet a claim to being the senior partner. Mollet's claim rested on the fact that the Socialists picked up 455,000 new votes to poll a solid 3,188,000-their first increase since 1945, though through the inequities of the electoral system, the party actually dropped eight seats. The governing center-right coalition had lost even more, could no longer...
