Meanwhile, the opposition parties seemed determined to fulfill all of De Gaulle's most scornful descriptions of them and to prove the old maxim that four Frenchmen locked in a room together are likely to emerge with five political parties. In the course of their first-week search to mount a challenge to Gaullism, they only managed to stumble over one another in a parody of the Alphonse-Gaston...

The dead pulse of the blues rolled in and out of the room, but Billy boy was already coming back from six hours of nothing into the world where people fight, choose up sides, care, act inexplicably.
