In the army there would be the risk of attempted revolt by officers adamantly opposed to any solution that did not keep Algeria an integral part of France. In De Gaulle's own Cabinet there would be outraged protests, perhaps even some resignations. And there was considerable doubt that Algeria's rebel leaders would accept De Gaulle's plan, however liberal it might prove; De Gaulle could only hope that his proposals would appeal to so many...

The premiership went to Gaullist Lawyer Michel Debré, a relative unknown; for Soustelle there was an agglomeration...
Died. Joseph Revai, 61, Hungarian Communist zealot and wily theoretician, Minister of People's Culture (1949-53), who provided ideology for Hungary's Stalinist Boss Matyas Rakosi and promoted the fierce attack on Cardinal Mindszenty and other religious leaders, skipped to Russia when the 1956 revolt began but returned as soon as it was over to help execute the revolutionaries; in Budapest, Hungary...
