...been nationalized or expropriated under the program and turned into cooperatives and collective farms; another 1.8 million acres are slated to be taken over. The amount of land to be returned is about 50,000 acres, less than 2% of the total expropriated. But the Communist-controlled farm unions object to the parcels chosen to be returned, and Communist Party Chief Alvaro Cunhal warned that the Socialists will now "have to respect the will of the people in the Alentejo." Agriculture Minister Antonio Barreto temporarily suspended government credit to some cooperatives that had not rendered accounts and warned that Lisbon...
...left. Moreover, much of the pending legislation in the Assembly was hatched while Chirac was still Premier; this blunts any credible Gaullist opposition to these measures.

In the spirit of 19th century British intellectual noblesse oblige, he simply and clearly explains marine navigation. As skipper he is heavy on object lessons, especially in matters of boat safety. Two people lost their lives while sailing Cyrano under charter: a scuba diver died in the Caribbean, and an ad executive fell overboard and drowned in the Hudson River while the boat was being used for a corporate cocktail party. The most serious...
