...Prenons la Revolution au serieux, mais ne nous prenons pas au serieux."--voila peut-etre la phraseclef dans ce melange de boutades malines, de jeux-de-mots quasi (ou franchement) obscenes, de citations heroiques. "Je suis marxiste tendance groucho," ecrit un etudiant de Nanterre; "Je jouis dans les paves," declare un autre: nous ne sommes evidement pas parmi de graves doctrinaires. Dans l'ambiance febrile et joyeuse de mai meme les minettes du 16eme aident a la construction des barricades; a la colere, et a la passion anti-gouvernementale se mele un desir incoherent de participer au defi solidaire...

In addition, the big, new angle is interracial - there is a vast increase in roles played by Ne groes. Whether all this signifies a vast improvement in entertainment is, of course, problematical...
...unearthed on the site. Last year he halted construction of an important urban-renewal project in downtown Marseille and unleashed the archaeologists when power shovels uncovered massive fortifications built by Greeks during the 6th century B.C.

Alarmed last year when ten acres of farm land across the Rhône from Vienne was acquired for the badly needed school, Archaeologists Serge Tourrenc and Marcel Le Glay quietly began to probe beneath a peach orchard, suspecting that it covered ancient ruins of Roman Vienne. Three feet beneath the surface, on their first try, they found a colorful Roman mosaic. They alerted Malraux, then, with his support, proceeded to excavate five acres of the orchard with almost unseemly haste, hoping to prove the historical value of the site before the townspeople of Vienne could realize that...
...factory, a highway and complex sewer and heating systems, all of which confirmed that Vienne was once a thriving Roman colony. Wealthy citizens decorated their homes with multicolored mosaics, 15 different kinds of marble, elaborate basins and fishponds. Because the town was often threatened by the flooding Rhône, there were drainage ditches six feet deep between each villa. To protect salt and wheat stored in villa storerooms from dampness, Vienne's architects partially buried between 50 and 60 empty olive jars upside down in the earth beneath the rooms. Thus infiltrating waters would trap air in each...
