...Change. The Algiers regime stood on its record, and on its plan for returning liberated France to constitutional democracy (TIME, Dec. 13). Admiral Jean François Darlan, the puppet and symbol of Allied expediency, was dead; General Henri Honoré Giraud, the later instrument of expediency, was in eclipse.
