And on De Gaulle's other flank-the right one-the balcony generals of the French army were applying unrelenting pressure. Without bothering to consult De Gaulle, military authorities in France last week seized issues of two of the Parisian papers most frequently suppressed under the Fourth Republic-France-Observateur and L'Express...

And if the end did not come soon (or evaporate, as Middle East crises sometimes do), the confused and intermittent struggle for Lebanon might become a crucial battle for the whole Middle East.
