A Paris arrondissement was thrown into uproar by the report of a case of yaws, which proved to be a physician's whimsical entry for la grippe. In many areas, coroners had to invoke police aid to force doctors to make out death certificates-and quite a few were signed "Paul Bacon." Who was Monsieur Bacon? None other than France's Minister of Labor, whose department administers the program...
