...Fourth Republic nervously deployed a small army of steel-helmeted cops, not sure of their loyalty, and Interior Minister Jules Moch ordered coils of barbed wire laid out on 15 of the 18 airfields surrounding Paris. Escorting a visitor out of his office, ex-Premier Guy Mollet, onetime Socialist Resistance leader, soberly remarked: "We may never see each other again. I am going to die on the barricades...
Cheishvili was by all odds the strangest Soviet defector to fly West in a long time.

And Brandt did not bother to campaign against his Christian Democratic opponent, Ernst Lemmer, a member of Adenauer...
...change in electoral methods was just as devastating to the Roman Catholic center and to the Socialists, both of whom held their old voting strength yet lost heavily in seats. Socialist Guy Mollet, who helped bring De Gaulle to power and hoped to become Premier, now grumpily said that his Socialists would vote for De Gaulle as President and then go into opposition. The big factor in French politics was now Jacques Soustelle's U.N.R. The results...
