Part of the problem rests with De Gaulle's choice of Premiers. Shortly after the election landslide, De Gaulle summarily replaced his longtime Premier, Georges Pompidou, whose air of solidity and jovial good sense appealed to French voters.

Bitter Division. No dilettante for all that, Steinem is a political activist whose subjective accounts in New York of the anguish of the antiwar left are among her best reporting.

"Because of preference for one or another of two men whose platforms were not very different," she wrote, "friends no longer spoke to friends. Gossip about who had switched to whom politically was suddenly as juicy as who was having an affair with whom. But less tolerant...
