Hastily summoned to Nassau last week, Gramco's directors assembled in marathon meetings, occasionally sending out for hamburgers and Chivas Regal. Meantime, employees at Gramco's mock colonial headquarters fended off a flood of transocean phone calls from anxious shareholders in many far-off countries. Emerging from one meeting, Vice President Joseph Jordan delivered a pep talk to worried USIF salesmen. "We are solvent," he said.

What they will see, in fact, is a man who has substituted pragmatism for grandeur, who wants to govern France rather than rule it, who emphasizes the continuity of the government rather than the man.
