François Mitterand elected that year. Socialists and Communists in the government. First Mitterand's prime minister was Pierre Maurois who was to become president of the Socialist Internationale later.

I remember Amrican friends visiting me there a few years later (when _I_ was in high school) and asking me how it felt to live in a socialist country ?!?
