Foreign Minister Roland Dumas & Wimbledon champion Vic Seixas

Listen now

Description

Roland Dumas wielded such clout in the Élysée that he was called “le vice-president”. But despite being a closely trusted ally of François Mitterrand, his career in politics was blighted by allegations of corruption. While the 1953 Wimbledon champion, Vic Seixas, was perhaps under appreciated, and definitely underpaid. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
