Holidays notwithstanding, things are not all that gay in Paree this time. Here are some of the indications: When Sandra and I went to the Christmas Market on the lower half of the Champs-Elysees last (Friday) night, we saw something that we definitely didn’t see a year ago: Army patrols, in groups of three, carrying […]

Once again, I am reminded of “A Man for All Seasons“: MORE: I have one question to ask the witness. (RICH stops) That’s a chain of office you are wearing. (Reluctantly RICH faces him) May I see it?
