Behind that door, black laths hung down like macabre pennants. Jagged bits of glass were yellowed by the heat. Desks were overturned, heaped with rubble. A ballpoint pen lay here, a plastic billfold embossed PONYTAIL there. Charred coats still hung on hooks.

Mendès quickly won his first victory when the executive committee voted, 96 to 87, to replace Martinaud-Déplat by a seven-man administrative committee. Back from lunch came the delegates, full of vim and vin rouge, for the rest of the battle. When Mendès took the rostrum, there was a crashing ovation. A fist fight broke...
