...cookout this summer included White House Chef René Verdon, former Colony Chef Jean Vergnes, former Le Pavilion Chef Pierre Franey, La Caravelle Chef Roger Fessaguet, and Jacques Pépin, former chef to Charles de Gaulle.

Through his own newspaper, The People, occasional manifestoes ("To We Who Have Not Yet Broken the Colonial Chains That Fetter Us"), and stumping tours of the islands, he has built SPUP up into what for the Seychelles is a powerful political force.
