...stayed out of Algeria's biggest cities. In Paris, his right-wing opponents in the Assembly were reduced to hand-wringing pleas (''the motherland cannot abandon its sons!"). There were only three leaders with the dynamism to rally the European extremists of Algiers-General Raoul Sa-lan, fiery Pierre Lagaillarde and Jacques Soustelle. once both a Cabinet member and close friend of De Gaulle. Not one of them was in either Algeria or France. General Salan has been sulking in Spain for six weeks. Young, red-bearded Pierre Lagaillarde, given "provisional liberty'' by the military...

...anything at all in the art world. His father was a prosperous Le Havre wine merchant, and Dubuffet barely escaped being the same. He tried painting for a while, then gave it up in disgust because he decided he was only imitating his Paris friends, Suzanne Valadon, Raoul Dufy and Fernand Léger. He went back to selling wine, got "a wife, furniture, a maid, a brother-in-law, a car, kids." Then one day before World War II he started to paint again. "My wife didn't like it ... She disappeared. Bon voyage! The brother...
