Ways need to be found to unclog saturated Parisian lines--particularly the No. 13, serving St.-Denis to the north; the No. 1 main line that all tourists use, which runs east-west from the Etoile to the Bastille; and the parallel RER commuter line. Three different plans that would cost tens of billions of dollars are being studied to renovate and extend existing Métro and commuter lines and build a circular rail link around the city, connecting its first...

The real problems of Latin America—the social, economic and political inequities that affect different nations in different ways—continue to be ignored. A tenuous case can be made that the Administration is taking...
