...become a subject of occasional levity. At Paris' Ca-veau de la République, a political cabaret near the Place de la République, performers last week managed to take the political news in stride. "Imagine if Premier Couve de Murville were to become President," groaned one. "Saying 'Vive De Gaulle' was easy enough, but what a time we would have shouting 'Vive Couve de Murville.' " Another, noting that Daniel Cohn-Bendit, leader of last spring's student rioting, had been out of action lately, shrugged...
...only concerning the relations between our two countries but even more so about the great problems which divide the world." He said that he shared "the feeling expressed by Benjamin Franklin many years ago when he said: 'Every man has two countries, France and his own.' Vive la France!" De Gaulle was almost as expansive.

They also employ as graffiti an equation that at first glance is almost as incomprehensible as their language: "Three plus four equals one." It means that France's three Basque provinces plus the four in Spain...
...they share some compelling political bonds. Thus, when Charles de Gaulle visited Rumania last week, he received a hero's welcome -even while he was being reviled back home by students in the streets of Paris. Everywhere he went, thousands of flag-waving Rumanians turned out to shout "Vive la France - De Gaulle!", turning his five-day stay into an impressive demonstration of genuine pro-French feeling. Besides, President Nicolae Ceausescu 50, is an ardent admirer of De Gaulle and his independent ways, and has used De Gaulle's single-minded nationalism as a model and inspiration...
