Louis Gallois, a Frenchman who was appointed CEO of Airbus last October, is trying to maneuver out of that mess. It's a perilous undertaking. Gallois replaced Christian Streiff, who lasted just 100 days after replacing Noël Forgeard, who was fired last summer. The restructuring plan Gallois unveiled seeks to eliminate duplication and reduce the 16 manufacturing plants to 10. His plan carefully distributes the job cuts.

The three main candidates in the current French presidential-election campaign then promised more...

Aimfire, a Machiavellain Frenchman with an ego as outrageous as his Napoleonic costume, Michael B. Hoagland ’07 is great. Using his wiry frame to great effect, and always turning with a flourish of his glittering cape, Hoagland’s humor is terrifically focused, less concerned with cueing the audience for laughs than making sure there is something worth laughing...
...While students at Sciences Po spend more time in the classroom, Harvard kids are running clubs and founding organizations. “They don’t expect you to get involved in organizations as much,” Mason says of Sciences Po. But on U.S. soil, this Frenchman has decided to get involved in some extracurriculars. “I go to the forum in the Kennedy school quite often, the IOP,” he says. Mason, in his effort to experience true American culture, has joined in a variety of U.S. trends. “Well...
