On this day in 2019, former French President Jacques Chirac died at 86. M Chirac was once an employee of the Anheuser Busch Brewing Company, St Louis, Missouri, and, by age 17, he was nearly fluent in Russian. He was one of France’s least popular presidents. His mistress and his wife stood together at his funeral. Or was that Georges Pompidou? Flights of angels, mon esteemed frère.
