...held, the situation would be completely different. As a result, speculation about France's political future inevitably centers on who might win the presidency après De Gaulle. Mitterrand, while effective with other politicians, has a slightly tarnished "old pol" image among French voters. Similarly, the candidates from the right???Pompidou, Giscard d'Estaing?for the moment, at least, seem to have little appeal to French voters. The man that some politicians in Paris were mentioning last week as a possible successor to De Gaulle is a vintage statesman who served well in some of the most dif ficult moments...

The upstarts from Indiana punted only on fourth down?and passed the Cadets goggle-eyed. In one fantastic flurry. Quarterback Gus Dorais completed 12 in a row. His main target was a balding bandy-legged end named Knute Kenneth Rockne, who at 5 ft. 8 in. and 145 lbs. was probably the smallest man on the field. Army defenders...
...Albert is probably right???this time. Anyway, I could not tell him to quit whistling in the dark, because there is no equivalent to this phrase in the French language...
