If the non-registrants are willing to openly defy the law, they should also be willing to pay the added cost of taking outside...
Word of Barbie's expulsion from Bolivia stunned France. BARBIE: THE GHOSTS RETURN, read the headline of Le Quotidien de Paris. An equally macabre banner was printed by Le Figaro: THE DEVILS EXHUMED. Even before Barbie's arrival in Lyon, relatives of some of his victims began to gather in front of the heavy green wooden doors of Montluc in silent vigil.
