Talk:Stavisky affair

[Untitled]
The Stavisky Affair normally refers to the Stavisky's death and the murky goings-on surrounding it; I don't think I've ever come across it being used to describe the riots (generally perceived by the left at the time as an attempted coup), which were rather more than simply a response to Stavisky.

 * I've merged the two pieces. Janet Flanner certainly treated the riots as part of the affair, but far from the only part, nor even the most important. PiCo 05:00, 31 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Finally got around to revising the article from Cobban's history. Stavisky and Daladier's response seems to have been the trigger for the riots, but otherwise only incidental to them. PiCo 12:24, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

On "having a long arm"
"avoir le bras long" (although its literal meaning is "to have a long arm") means "to be well connected, to be influential". So this was probably a play on words, combining both the literal and the figurative meanings.
