...could complain about the unfortunate timing of this midterm (four days after my thesis was due), and I could complain about how my request for an extension was declined (firmly), but I won’t.

...French workers against the predations of what they call "Anglo-Saxon ultraliberalism," as practiced in the United States, Great Britain and most of the rest of the world.
