I like the articles reference to American over use of air conditioning
producing "une température d'igloo".


I've worked in NY offices where people were forced to wear fingerless gloves
to type and who always had a cup of tea at their desk--mainly for its
hand-warming qualities.

Also Chirac has shown his resistance to control freak Bush
"il ne se plie pas à toutes les exigences américaines"

Bravo, Jack.

Beautiful language, French, it seems to have the exact term so much
of the time.

I love listening to Chirac speak--what a contrast to Bush stumbling over his
words!

Personnaly I can't stand Chirac speaches since he's always mooving. He
makes large gesture, stares wide-eyed, sometimes skips on his feet and
walks with clumsiness and finally always... talk during the chiefs of
state photography. A true delight for press photographers and
caricaturists. I'm wondering if he is not a bit shy, what I would
appreciate as a possible proof of sensitiveness. What a contrast whith
the clearness and self-control of Mitterrand speaches.
