Pompidou is certain he could win. His handling of last summer's strikes and riots, he feels, was so adept that "a current" passed between himself and the country. Proof of the current was the Gaullist sweep of the special election in June, which Pompidou masterminded. The former Premier feels that he received a charge as well as a current. When he placed Pompidou "in reserve," De Gaulle asked him to "be prepared to accomplish any mission and to assume any mandate that could one day be confided to you by the nation." Pompidou and almost everyone else assumed...
...Negro would seem to have a great deal in common?in some ways more than America's other minorities. They share a tragic past, part of which is a history of persecution at the hands of a white Christian majority. As the traditional outsider, the Jew can feel a special sympathy for other outsiders.

...result of a rather complicated deal, the U.S. Government also has a special interest in MEA. Several years ago, most of MEA's shares were owned by Beirut's Intra Bank, which also owed a big debt to the U.S.'s Commodity Credit Corp. for some grain shipments to Lebanon. When Intra folded in 1966, an investment company was formed to take over its remaining assets, including 65% of MEA's shares. For its unpaid bill, C.C.C. received a 19% interest in the investment company that controls the airline, and an officer of C.C.C. sits...
