...France - and in French. The French Culture Ministry spends $4.4 billion a year on the development and nourishment of culture, and I have never heard a word of complaint about the cost. The wonderful thing about "culture" - its very essence - is that it doesn't have an expiration date. Culture is not a competition.

Many in Kathmandu see that move as reason to doubt the Maoists' commitment to democracy, although the other parties have now sought to accommodate that demand by agreeing that the monarchy will be abolished once a Constituent Assembly is elected. For their part, the Maoists, who proclaim themselves the true champions of democracy in Nepal, plead...
...just two months ago that the French media shrugged off their curiosity about President Nicolas Sarkozy's divorce from his wife Cécilia, and said they would not pry into the private life of their first-ever single President, nor care which women he chose to date...
