...pushed no political line; indeed, French readers, accustomed to tilted journalism, have complained that they don't know where Le Point stands. In recent weeks the magazine has urged retention of the force de frappe, France's nuclear-weapons unit, and the construction of a major new port near Marseille, both targets of L'Express's scorn.
