Quote of the moment

General de Gaulle was a thoroughly bad boy. The day he arrived, he thought he was Joan of Arc and the following day he insisted that he was Georges Clemenceau.

~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945), U.S. president. letter, Feb. 13, 1943, to John A. Roosevelt. The Roosevelt Letters, vol. 3, p. 457, ed. Elliott Roosevelt, George G. Harrup & Co., Ltd. (1952). FDR disliked de Gaulle; he thought him pompous and arrogant. This was an opinion which was re-enforced by the General’s demeanor at the Casablanca Conference to which this letter referred. ~
