During World War 2, Bacon was active in the French Resistance. He was a member of Georges Bidault's National Liberation Movement, and distributed a manifesto about trade unionism in December 1940. Bacon was arrested by the Gestapo in 1943.
After the war, Bacon continued his political career. A member of the Christian Democratic Mouvement Républicain Populaire, he was Member of the two National Constituent Assemblies (1945-46) and then of the National Assembly from 1946 to 1958 representing the Seine Department. He was Secretary of state in the prime minister's office in 1959-1960, minister of Labour and Social security (with some interruptions during the cabinets of Pinay and of Mendès-France) from 1950 to 1956 and again in 1957-1959. He was Minister of Labour in De Gaulle, Debré and Pompidou governments from 1958 to 1962. With the other MRP ministers, he resigned in protest after De Gaulle's press conference about European integration in May 1962. He sat in the Economic and Social Council from 1962 to 1964.
Mr. Bacon was also a municipal councillor at Saint-Maur-des-Fossés.
A trade unionist and an adept of social harmony, Paul Bacon was one of the major figures who built French social security and was the father of the Interprofessionnal Guaranteed Minimal Loan (SMIG).
I hate to be boring here and shed light on your bacon related woes, but it sounds to me like you've not been using a frying pan with a heavy enough base.
Bacon is still the most disrespectful of the lot though, with it always sticking to and flening the pan, depsite gallons of oil there, and the rind not cooking in the way you like, and the way it curls up so that the rind never cooks properly...
Bacon can indeed be unruly, but the humble boiled egg is surely one of the trickiest of beasts.
