...conventions are over, that situation will change rapidly. Millions now growl: "I don't like any of them." By Labor Day, they will have a clear choice between two major-party candidates rather than among the current profusion of possible Presidents. Rockefeller talks of a "clean break, a clean slate and a clean start." Those are words of challenge. But each of the candidates, in his own way, is after the same thing.

It seems likely that Mitterrand's party and the Communists will each enter a full slate of competing first-round candidates in France's 487 electoral districts. But they are likely to combine forces and throw their votes in the final round to the strongest candidate from either party in each district, the other candidate withdrawing-a maneuver that the leftists and Communists used with great...
