From the balcony of the Ajaccio Prefectural Headquarters a local contractor announced, amid shouts of "Vive De Gaulle," the formation of a Committee of Public Safety whose membership "was prepared long ago in Algiers...

Driven by uncontrollable fury, thousands of colons surged into the streets of Algiers shouting "The army to power!" and "Vive De Gaulle!" (see below).

While the Markevitch children presented Nadia with a $3,000 diamond bought by members of the Boulangerie the world over, the guests launched into an exuberant chorus composed for the occasion by Francis Poulenc. "Vive Nadia, the dear Nadia Boulanger, the very dear Nadia, Al-le-lu-jah!" Later, musicians performed another birthday tribute: a cantata by Composer Jean Françaix for five strings, five winds and six-handed piano. Over the bubbly, breakneck music ex-pupils chanted their praise of Nadia. One, made up to look like President René Coty of France, paid the Fourth Republic...
