News and current affairs
In the international arena, Eban's pen was his sword, and the spoken word his lance.
When the voters decide in the spring of 2007, their choice may depend more on negative than positive considerations, as it did in 2002, when Chirac faced the odious nationalist Jean-Marie Le Pen in the second round.
The pen, at last mightier than the sword, became a weapon of glorious retribution, wielded with style. Some voters slashed their ballots boldly, decapitating the old regime with flourishing strokes.
France's economic growth remains anemic, the unemployed and many Muslims are disaffected, and Marine Le Pen's far-right National Front is likely to do well in the upcoming regional elections.
Jean-Marie Le Pen's breakthrough in the French presidential elections is a slap in the face for mainstream French political parties, as well as a stark warning of the drawbacks of the constitution of the Fifth French Republic.
But the lessons of Le Pen's rise go beyond the specifics of French politics, because far-right parties have been on the march in many European countries of late, from Austria to Portugal, from Italy to Denmark.
All mainstream parties are rallying round Jacques Chirac to keep out Monsieur Le Pen.
In the second round of voting, Chirac will undoubtedly defeat Le Pen, possibly with a record majority.
But the deeper problem is that, in contrast with the populist simplicities of extremists like Le Pen, France's mainstream parties lack clear policies.
In the French presidential campaign, everyone knew what Le Pen stood for; but neither Chirac nor Jospin had a clear program to offer, just vague, abstract generalities.
No doubt a key factor behind Le Pen's breakthrough is popular anxiety - especially among the old, the unemployed and the unskilled - about globalization and its pressures for change.
For his part, the far-right leader, Jean-Marie Le Pen, says that he is very happy with this evolution.
And Jospin was considered the only possible winner in 2002, before finishing third, behind Chirac and Jean-Marie Le Pen.
In the 2002 presidential election, frustration with the system fueled strong support for the extremes, with Jean-Marie Le Pen, the leader of the far right, qualifying for the second-round runoff.
The pen, at last mightier than the sword, became a weapon of glorious retribution, wielded with style.
Indeed, a significant portion of the Jewish community in the south of France votes for the far-right National Front, which, under the leadership of Marine Le Pen, has concentrated its xenophobia on Muslims.
In the Netherlands, Wilders - more a one-man show than the leader of a real party - has already been in government, thereby providing a veneer of legitimacy to Le Pen simply by forming an alliance with her.
Pope Francis, Vladimir Putin, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and Marine Le Pen have little in common.
It then descended into scandal and acrimonious infighting between the party's president, Marine Le Pen, and its founder, her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen (who was ultimately expelled).
Then, he (so far, it has always been a man, though France's Marine Le Pen would fit the pattern should she ever come to power) pursues an agenda opposing the European Union (when the country is a member) or other institutions of supra-national governance.
And Marine Le Pen of the far-right National Front is polling well ahead of the 2017 French presidential election.
Le Pen accused the mainstream parties of ganging up on her, describing their cooperation as a denial of democracy.
That is not to say that Le Pen's claim - that those who vote for her party are the only true patriots - should be casually dismissed.
Le Pen and her fellow populists claim that globalization was either an act of foolish generosity that helped the rest of the world at the expense of the nation, or a phenomenon that benefited only the elites and not ordinary people.
No EU government will want to invite into the club an administration that contains Romania's far uglier version of Le Pen and Haider.
The French turned out, en masse, to say that they did not want to see the Le Pen gang take possession of their regions.
He is not a nationalist like France's Le Pen; he is neither rightist nor leftist.
