...hopes to change the situation. Decentralization of power has become his single most urgent domestic program, and with good reason. At least 85% of French industry is concentrated in the area east of a line drawn from Caen in the northwest to Marseille on the Mediterranean. So is the bulk of the population. Because jobs are far more plentiful in Paris than in the provinces, hundreds of thousands of auvergnats, alsaciens, Savoyards and bretons have flocked to the capital.

The escalation of bitter confrontation is in nobody's interest. What happened here was not at all of the same order of magnitude as what was done by others at Berkeley of Columbia. Here, there...
