Copy editing ... French coup ... 1958 rather than 1978 presumably. And I suppose, potentially, 1961, not to mention 1968. For the briefest moment the election of Mitterrand came to mind - fortunately for the reader, not that year. Anyway, 1958.

Our most recent try being 2021, be it noted. But I seem to have drifted far away from copy editing.

That WWII vignette is certainly striking.
