| | Mitterrand always said he was confident in the way history would judge his era, but a year after his death it is clearer than ever how much trouble he took to make sure history got it right. | | | Knowing there were scandals to feed, Mitterrand made no secret, in the last months before his death, that he had a mistress for 20 years and had fathered a daughter by her. | | | Even more difficult to explain was Mitterrand's controversial participation in the pro-Nazi Vichy government during World War II. |

| | National Review: Mitterrand - Francois Mitterrand |
| | Mitterrand was born into a devoutly Catholic upper-middle-class (bourgeoise) family. | | | He had a Catholic education; one of his brothers is a retired air-force general, another is prominent in business, and a sister works in a Catholic publishing house and acts as intermediary between the president and the Church. | | | (Checks and balances indeed!) This is why Mitterrand, in his speeches before the parliamentary elections this spring, beseeched the people to vote in a leftist Assembly, because otherwise it would be difficult, if not impossible, to govern France. |

| | Morray, Joseph P. This book traces the life of Francois Mitterrand from his youth as an ardent Catholic and supporter of Marshal Petain, to his career as a centrist politician of the Fourth Republic, through his capture of the leadership of the Socialist Party, leading to his election as President of France in 1981. | | | The reform of the Communist Party and the rise of Mitterrand led to the Union of the Left. | | | During these years the Communist Party of France, influenced by such militants as the poet Louis Aragon, was evolving into a national party eager to participate in a joint effort with the Socialist Party to begin a rupture with capitalism through the election of Mitterrand as President. |

| | This dichotomy, and Mitterrand's failure when in office to really engage politically with the conservation of nature and the environment, can partly be explained by the anthropocentric and conservative spiritual values engendered by his rural catholic upbringing. | | | With the help of extensive quotations, this paper shows that the writings of Francois Mitterrand contain many professions of his love for nature, and reflections on the bond between man and nature. | | | In contrast to these aesthetic and mystical, almost religious outpourings, his references to environmental issues, to ecology and to the environmental movement are few, and they are counterposed by exaltations of materialism and material progress. |
