When Sampson interviewed Franz Josef Strauss, West Germany's Finance Minister mocked De Gaulle the diplomat as "a cross between Joan of Arc and a political cosmonaut." Yet, as Sampson notes, De Gaulle has "taken full advantage of the glamour of nationalism" as well as the allure of anti-Americanism. For his own lifetime, at least...

Besides his drive and brilliance both as an administrator and orator, the key to his resurgence is that he never lost control of his Bavarian Hausmacht. It paid off at the decisive caucus in 1966 at which...
...pains to improve his image, which used to be that of a thick-necked butcher's son. He has slimmed down to a manageable 210 lbs. and rearranged his hair to present a more distinguished hairline. At last week's CSU conference, a computer started churning out Strauss portraits. However, despite Kiesinger's current headaches, it will take a lot more grooming for Strauss to match the Chancellor's vote-getting charm...
