Only two months ago, Jimmy Carter narrowly escaped Washington's heated "Billygate," which made headlines for weeks and almost cost Carter the nomination. On the other hand, throughout the many scandals that have shattered the pristine panes of the Elysee Palace since his election in 1974, Giscard d'Estaing has shown plexiglass resistance; none...
