...also reads Elle. So does Mme. Charles de Gaulle. So do 800,000 other French women every week. The numbers justify a popular saying: "Si elle lit elle lit Elle (If she reads, she reads Elle)." And so, of course, do all the arbiters, pace setters and proprietors of Parisian haute couture, the people whose very names spell female elegance around the world: Chanel, Givenchy, St. Laurent, Balenciaga, Dior, Courrèges.

To dampen widespread land speculation, Italy's left-leaning government is pushing for a law that would permit cities to expropriate land in rapidly expanding urban areas. In France, where Parisian land has jumped 70% in value in five years, an unfathomable maze of tax law has been passed to discourage profiteers. All over Europe, inflation on top of prosperity has sent the price of land soaring and caused aroused governments to search for some way to put on the brakes...
