Academic integrity and freedom are essential in any self-respecting university which should try as much as possible to remain independent of government control and open about its activities. On the other hand, it is very easy to exaggerate how badly public confidence in academic institutions will be shaken by covert recruitment of American students.

Giscard fils does not downplay his family connection or resemblance to the tall, coolly patrician Giscard père: "I have the virus of politics and I have had good coaching." Working out of a former butcher shop, he has shaken hands with at least one-third of the district's 6,000 people. A defeat of Communist and Socialist opponents who mock him as a dauphin would make him the youngest elected official in France...
