...appeal of a woman for the death of any person except her husband." Another proclaimed: "If anyone who has borrowed a sum of money from Jews dies before the debt has been repaid, his heir shall pay no interest on the debt for so long as he remains under age." The legislation introduced in Parliament will repeal ten other clauses that have either gone unenforced in recent years or have been superseded by new laws. Among them is one that ordered the removal of all weirs (dams) from the Thames and other rivers, and a second that restricts the King...

They're people who want to test Europe?live on the Left Bank of Paris instead of the Right, eat in the same restaurants the local people eat in." Frommer's "people" are mainly travelers in the 30-and-under age bracket?currently nearly half of all the U.S. tourists who visit Europe.
