First sentence: On a bitingly cold Parisian December day in 1964, at the Pantheon, temple of French republican remembrance, a larger turnout of military and civilian leaders including Charles de Gaulle, President of the Republic, came to lay in their final resting-place the remains of Jean Moulin, resistance leader and martyr (see Plate 17).
