Because the defect has been studied on a molecular level, it provides a unique window into understanding autism - and treating it.

Indeed, it was published after a last-minute order from publisher Etienne Mougeotte on Sunday evening, when he overrode the decision by the editors to feature France's Olympic swimmer Laure Manadou on page one. "This is a big bone of contention," Charles Jaigu, who covers Sarkozy for Le Figaro, told TIME on Monday. "But it is a new fact that we have to deal with."
