...French Premiers go-and they do go rather frequently-Socialist Paul Ramadier had lasted a long time; in fact, nearly a year. He was good at compromising and temporizing, at the small makeshift remedies which postpone disaster, and he was undeniably a man of good will. In the crunch between Gaullists and Communists, it was not enough. Last week Paul Ramadier resigned...
...Dream. Communist strikes and violence were numbing the country. More openly than ever, the Reds admitted that their main objective was to block aid from the U.S. In this crisis, who could form a government? President Vincent Auriol asked 75-year-old Socialist Léon Blum to try. But M.

Kicked out again, Octávio got along in Europe on handouts from his brother João, a rich socialist. World War II sent him, along with many another refugee, to the U.S. Friends, who found a New York hotel suite for Mangabeira, wife Esther and their two grown children, told him that the rent was $90 a month and paid the difference. He has since repaid them. Within six months, Mangabeira had picked up enough English to get a job doing translations for the Reader's Digest. Not so apt with languages was wife Esther, who sometimes...
