Fame
By 1958, Plantard was back living in Paris where he was actively supporting General de Gaulle, establishing a Committee of Public Safety (based in Paris) during the Algerian Crisis using the name "Captain Way".
In 1959, Plantard edited a second series of the journal Circuit, subtitled Publication Périodique Culturelle de la Fédération des Forces Françaises. It never mentioned the Priory of Sion in its pages, and dealt with paranormal and mystical topics. At the same time, Plantard was offering his services as a clairvoyant under the name of "Chyren".
It was in this second series of Circuit that Plantard claimed he received a letter from de Gaulle dated 27 June 1959. Louis Vazart referred to a letter dated 29 July 1958, also referring to another letter from de Gaulle dated 3 August 1958 where he thanked Plantard for his support during the Algerian crisis. None of these letters were reproduced.

Famous quotes containing the word fame:
“Stupid misery of fame and money. Always we were safe from it, mistaking our obscurity for a curse when it was a treasure. Free to make what we liked, to be ourselves, even do nothing at all. No one watching. We could be real.”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
“The best people renounce all for one goal, the eternal fame of mortals; but most people stuff themselves like cattle.”
—Heraclitus (c. 535–475 B.C.)
“Death makes no conquest of this conqueror,
For now he lives in fame though not in life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
