...which has actually existed for at least a decade but which the U.S. is not yet really accustomed to, foreign policy will have to depend less on military force and direct Marshall Plan-style economic heft and more on diplomacy, trade and political maneuvering. French Journalist-Politician Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber, among others, has argued that the U.S. will have to choose between continued international power and the building of "an ambitious civilization" at home. For the foreseeable future, the U.S. will obviously insist on both, but Servan-Schreiber is right in asserting that the U.S. will have to rely...
When he became secretary-general of France's Radical Party more than a year ago, Politician-Publisher Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber promised to lead the decaying organization to victory in the 1971 municipal elections. He campaigned lustily; the Radicals lost overwhelmingly. In the wake of that letdown, J.J. S.S. expressed a somewhat disdainful attitude toward the legislative process in France.

They are the products that bring us the most profit." Andre Malraux, the celebrated author and former Minister of Culture, asked for and was sent a copy...
Gadfly Savior. Since the Communists are the only opposition party with any claim to real cohesion or strength in France, J-J S-S cast himself as something of a gadfly savior of the French left -and indeed of French democracy. Servan-Schreiber's political battle plan calls for the creation of a viable non-Communist alternative to the firmly en trenched Gaullist majorities, with himself, naturally, as its leader...
