Nothing about the Centre Pompidou? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.222.118.99 (talk • contribs)

I was just about to mention that. Surely something should be mentioned? Morhange 01:36, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Is Pompidou a French surname? I think too little is written in his biography. Something about his parents would be nice. 85.74.177.233 22:37, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Early life?

Pompidou was born in 1911 and there is nothing about his life until 1953 except that he was a teacher and had befriended a Sengalese poet/statesman. Since he entered adulthood about 1931, what about the period 1931-1953? The periods of the Popular Front, the war, the Vichy Regime, Liberation and the immediate post-war period are not mentioned. This seems a strange biography. --TGC55 (talk) 02:25, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
