...overhaul was long overdue. "The French economy we found on taking office was in a state of weakness," says Alain Juppe, a Deputy Minister for the Budget. As evidence, Juppe points to a meager 1.1% growth rate in 1985, an unemployment level of more than 10% (25% for youths under 25), a trade deficit of $3 billion, and a mounting budget shortfall that is now expected to hit $20 billion for 1986. The government hopes to solve these problems, says Juppe, with a policy based on "wisdom and economic liberty...
They show movies here too--a thousand or so for every conceivable taste. As an actor who tests himself spiritually as well as physically with every role, you would have appreciated Alain Cavalier's Therese, the austere yet accessible biography of St. Therese Martin. As the auteur of Staying Alive, you would have been impressed by the cinematic virtuosity of Andrei Tarkovsky's The Sacrifice, an end-of-the-world antidrama in which all the excitement is in the composition of images, the balletry of actors and camera, the surprise of lighting, the big crazy fire at the climax...

...medical researchers, it was no less surprising that Even and his colleagues, Jean-Marie Andrieu and Alain Venet, had based their sensational report on tests with only two patients, one of whom had been treated for less than a week. "To draw conclusions with just a week's time frame is really a majestic leap," said Anthony Fauci, a leading AIDS investigator at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). AIDS researchers in both the U.S. and France also censured the Paris team for holding a press conference before they had presented their findings in a scientific forum...
...nearly two decades. So when the Swedish Academy last week finally awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature to French Novelist Claude Simon, 72, the news seemed both , inevitable and a little outdated. Simon had a period of modest renown during the 1950s and early '60s. Along with Nathalie Sarraute, Alain Robbe-Grillet and Michel Butor, he became a chief exponent of the French nouveau roman, a form of fiction that rigorously questioned traditional narrative devices. Reality, so the Gallic logic went, is not easy to read. Simon has proved himself just as good and as exhausting as the form that...
