Tim, If I may make a correction, I was referring to the belated acknowledgment of the problem, not to the fact that it is not a problem. We have been immensely concerned about the direction of the social situation in France (for at least five years), and it seems to me that 'universal' grounding then, romantic or otherwise, would provide some perspective that would prevent our either being unmoved by fundamental currents or being excessively swayed by the trendy concerns of the day.

It could deteriorate over night or the French citizenry could cave in to the beligerent will of Sarkozy.
