"My name is Torben Grunth, I am a Dane. I moved to New York five years ago as a product design consultant. I've always thought that George Taniers' selections of Danish furniture and lighting were splendid examples of contemporary Danish design and craftsmanship. Certainly they are among the best things being done in Denmark today. Arne Vodder's bar stool is one of my Tanier favorites."

forces to united long enough to vote the Fifth Republic in over the weekend- that quartet being the old anti-clerical republican force, the political spine that divides the French body politic toward the Left and the Right; the pro-clerical Catholic force; the forces of the Right; and the Socialists, a mildly Leftish. respectable brand here. The two recalcitrant forces that refused to take cover and, as a consequence, voted no were the intellectual Left liberals and, of course, the undeviating Communists. It would seem that the French- the most logical, literary-minded nation, made up of the most individualistic citizens, whose brains and fertile political imaginations invented the eighteenth-century French Revolution, thus influencing and redating all the Western world- are today, in the twentieth century, bringing their own republicanism to impotence not only through breeding too many theories but through the overuse of logic. To all this, their inherited medieval taste for schism has added the final weakening touches. In June, Le Monde announced, with its customary authority, that "the Fourth Republic died of widening splits, which separated the boundaries of the political parties from the real frontiers of public opinion." As far back as three years ago, M. Edgar Faure, then Premier of France for the second time and one of the nation's shrewdest younger political brains, said publicly, "I want to speak my conviction, resulting from personal experience, that in the present (multiple-party) condition of the regime, government of France is not scientifically possible. The problem is not, as is often said, one of governmental instability. It is one of governmental impossibility. The governments here are unstable because they are impossible."

This is the fractioned French political state that very likely even de Gaulle's constitution and new electoral laws cannot greatly stick together. In any event, that will be his second difficult task. He is now working on this first and even more important difficult task in Algeria, which voted its almost unbelievable ninety-six-per-cent-plus for integration with France in the face of the bankrupting Algerian war for independence.
