...positive side, I have succeeded in maintaining France in peace-political and social-for two years. Secondly, I have succeeded in persuading the French public that I want to conduct a transformation of French society. When I was elected, they hardly believed me.

...America to finally know the identity of one of Woodward and Bernstein's sources." Reviewing The Final Days, Political Writer Richard Reeves argues in the New York Times: "I have never been convinced that Deep Throat existed.

Several prominent Philadelphians, including former mayoral opponent Charles Bowser plan to circulate a petition in a few weeks calling for recall of the mayor. The chances of this tactic succeeding are small. A petition to recall requires 150,000 signatures all of which can easily be challenged. Each signee must give extensive information about his whereabouts including ward and telephone numbers. I spoke to people in several wards of downtown Philadelphia last week who said they feared physical retribution...
