...hard by higher labor costs, more union rights and severe constraints against layoffs. But, paradoxically, businessmen are suddenly starting to enjoy an unprecedented respectability, thanks largely to the Socialists. French people of all classes have traditionally looked askance at the pursuit of commerce and made businessmen feel socially inferior. Now, as part of its zealous austerity-minded campaign to revive investment and encourage new, advanced industries, the government has been extolling free enterprise.

Some of them have beards. Apart from that, I have never been...
...Paul Warner is Courtney offering in The Curse of Kulyenchikov a musical showing at Leverett House old Library though May 5. Perhaps the idea is to reassure Harvard students that all is not lost while towns like Kulyenchikov exist: but Neil Simon's shame less half-baked assault on inferior intellects should make most audiences uneasy...
