Privately, he was racked with self-doubt: "I am a timid man, a bohemian, and people laugh at me." Late in life, he confessed that his painting had "made some progress. Why so late and so painfully...
Within 15 minutes of the Assembly vote that felled them, Premier René Pleven and his cabinet ministers sped to the presidential palace in their official black cars and submitted their resignations to President Vincent Auriol, getting into their usual traffic snarl in the courtyard.

The Marine Corps fixed it so that draftees could specify their choice of service; a sergeant could still snarl at a boot: "Nobody asked you to join this outfit, bub." Now the Marines had to go begging. The Marines would presumably still have the right to wash out anyone who couldn't stomach the rugged training. But the sad fact these days, said one Marine major, is that there...
