Only naive Americans would invest so much money in a country where anti-Americanism is spreading. President Fran??ois Mitterrand openly attacks the U.S., and Premier Laurent Fabius blames America for every French ill. Disney Chairman Michael Eisner has made a mistake in choosing the Marne-la-Vallée for the company's first European Disney theme park. Bad weather in that region will keep this amusement park closed at least four months a year. My prediction: Eisner will lose "his" $1.8 billion and will be forced to pack Mickey's bags and run to Spain begging forgiveness. Anthony Mantykowsky...
...birth of the Republic in 1958, the party of the President has also controlled the legislature. No one was quite certain how a government would operate with a President from one party and the legislature in the hands of another. Yet that appeared the likely outcome. Socialist President Fran??ois Mitterrand's term runs until 1988, but his party seemed destined to lose the parliamentary majority it has enjoyed since 1981. The election was expected to produce a political griffin with the head of a Socialist and the body of a conservative. More unnerving still, the mismatched leftist President...
...happened before, the big questions about unity at the meeting may revolve around French President Fran??ois Mitterrand. This year France's position at the summit is cloudier than ever because of the installation in March of Conservative Jacques Chirac as Socialist Mitterrand's Premier. Chirac has decided to put in an appearance at the meeting, throwing the protocol-conscious Japanese into a tizzy. One compromise: Chirac will show up at Akasaka only after the opening state dinner, thus avoiding a major problem with head-table seating...
...kind of moralizing earnestness that was common in French salon art a century ago. Idealizations of the peasant, reflecting an anxiety that folk culture was being annihilated by the gravitational field of the city, were the stock of dozens of painters like Jules Breton, Jules Bastien-Lepage and Jean Fran??ois Millet. Homer's own America had its anxieties too--immense ones. Nothing in its cultural history is more striking than the virtual absence of any mention of the central American trauma of the 19th century, the Civil War, from painting. Its fratricidal miseries were left to writers (Walt Whitman...
...date instead of bluntly groping you at the Mather Lather. We welcome spring! We have moved away from the winter months when Harvardians can comfortably submerge themselves in their intellects, finding satisfaction in contemplating Kant’s categorical imperative, finding derivatives of polynomial equations, and trying parler fran??§ais with a convincing accent. We have now (thank goodness!) moved to a season filled with more dates; no lie...it’s statistically proven, even at Harvard, where the lack of a formal dating scene is often lamented (but rarely rectified.) Springs brings out a new kind...
