Le Figaro à la une


Is it my imagination or is Ségolène Royal still sporting that disconnected smile which proclaims elle n'a rien compris that cost her the election when she ran--stumbled--against Sarko?

A boat of militants left Cyprus for Gaza. Reminds me of my youth when the circus came to town.

Le livre de la Jungle (Même le silence a une fin) de Ingrid Betancourt--not Disney's Jungle Book, but one well worth reading.

Bernanke defends economists. Trapped like a rat in the biggest con game ever invented, what choice does he have?

The transgenic salmon on the hot seat in the U.S. And yet, every day, people eat McDonald's without a qualm...

The Serengeti threatened by a road project. Nothing wrong with the world that the Teamsters can't put right!

The state should extend assistance to the press. Yes! Please forward all assistance to room 743 here at the hotel.

France Television: Coping to maintain advertising during the day. Somebody has to do the job of drilling corporate messages into our skulls. Why not television? Some people act as though television was invented to pump the truth into our homes!

The French are more proud their trains than the Germans. This may be the tipping point...
