Lamour's first task was to win the support of his fellow farmers in the lower Rhone Valley. He sparked the formation of a partly private, partly government development corporation and sent its agents into Midi homes to argue for an irrigation system that would wipe out the area's dependence on grapes alone. Lamour's advice to his agents: "Never refuse a glass of wine. Try to get on 'tu' and 'toi' terms with everyone...
Most of Jones's paintings tend to be dark, but not because of any preoccupation with death. He describes his own act of painting as "a kind of fidgeting to make the figure emerge.

...heart of North America. RCAF commanders brought their five squadrons (64 planes) of U.S.-built F-101B Voodoo interceptors to combat readiness; air bases were sealed off, planes were fueled and armed-but with relatively ineffectual high-explosive warheads, not the nuclear tips their Falcon rockets must have to wipe out an entire squadron of attacking bombers in one blast. There was no point even alerting the Bomarc missile squadron at North Bay, Ont.: Bomarcs are as useless as spitballs without nuclear warheads...
