...gribouillages sont des cris du coeur: "Je crie/J'ecris/#595 378 8222 bis de l'anonyme contrainte." On y trouve une haine de la societe urbanisee et dehumanisee, qui rappelle non seulement le ruralisme de Mao, mais celui de Rousseau, de Fourier, et de Proudhon: "L'economie est blesse, qu'elle creve." "Dessous les paves c'est la plage ..." Mepris des institutions democratiques ("Referendum -- voter sa chaine et son boulet."), anarchisme ("L'emancipation de l'homme sera totale ou ne sera pas."), foi en l'action directe ("L'aboutissement de toute pensee c'est le pave" -- les multiples courants...
...across the Pyrenees from France, where there are 150,000 French Basques. Though generally less restive than their brethren in Spain, many French Basques firmly endorse the drive for independence and rarely miss a chance to let Charles de Gaulle know it. On the day he proclaimed, "Vive le Québec libre!", Basques broke out signs reading "Vive Euzkadi libre!"

...skis, skindives, holds a judo brown belt and dresses in a highly individualistic style; he was once reprimanded by ex-Prime Minister John Diefenbaker for wearing a sports shirt and ascot in Parliament. But he is also a widely traveled law professor and economist and -very important-a bilingual Québecois who gets along as well at the mannerly teas of the English-speaking majority as at mercurial political rallies in Quebec and Montreal. A firm opponent of separatism, Trudeau believes that the only way to discourage it is to make French Canadians feel as comfort able elsewhere...
Even by his own Olympian standards, Charles de Gaulle enjoyed a vintage year of mischief-making in 1967. Among other feats, he expelled NATO from French soil, summoned the Québecois to rebel against Canada, egged the British pound on to devaluation and-once more with feeling-vetoed British entry into the Common Market. The most commonly accepted diagnosis of Gaullist behavior credits the general with an obsessive but essentially honorable devotion to la grandeur of France. Such a view is entirely too charitable, argues Harold Kaplan in an article in the current New Leader, entitled "The New Cold...
