	The Advocate
		Courtois wants nothing to do with being legal counsel for a pig, however the local powers of Abbeville seem strangely eager for him to represent the porker and bring an expedient end to the murder case.
		The local Seigneur seems indifferent to Courtois' struggle with conscience and tells him “there are things a country lawyer just has to do.” Samira, a gypsy and Courtois’ love interest, wants him to defend the pig because it provides food and money for her and her family.
		Meanwhile Courtois struggles in vain to maintain his image of an idyllic country life, as he slowly discovers there have been other murders and the peaceful community he dreamed of is filled with fear and corruption.

	The Black Book of Communism
		Courtois and numerous other scholars responded in a series of heated exchanges in the French press and academic journals.
		This part is divided into three essays, "Le Komintern õ l'action," by Courtois and Pannª; "L'ombre portªe du NKVD en Espagne" (" The Shadow of the NKVD in Spain") by Courtois and Pannª; and "Communisme et terrorisme," by Kauffer.

	Critique of the "Black Book of Communism"
		Courtois suggested in the only comparison in the book that the communist movement was responsible for 100 million deaths, while the Nazis were only responsible for 25 million (p.
		Courtois is also the perfect case of what Stalin called a "social-fascist." Claiming to be a social-democrat, Courtois has been attacked for fascist sympathies widely.
		Where Werth and Courtois agree is that the political choice of some peasants to resist delivering grain to the state is not an act of violence in itself against the city-dwellers; even though realistically, food has to come from farmland, especially the Ukraine and other lands in question.

	The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression [Book Review] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Courtois argued that in addition to the sheer numbers of dead—and the death toll of those killed by Communists far exceeds those murdered by the Nazis—a similarity exists between the "class genocide" preached by Lenin and Stalin and the "race genocide" of Hitler.
		Eschewing the argument that one evil was lesser than the other, Courtois firmly asserted that both totalitarian regimes practiced "crimes against humanity" on a monumental scale.
		Thus we had the strange spectacle of the French left erupting in anger after publication of Courtois’ book, which they claimed (in a throwback to the days of the Popular Front) was a new apologia for fascism.

		Several designs originating from the Parisian ateliers of Courtois and Besson, in particular, dominated Périnet-valved cornet design on both sides of the Atlantic from the 1850s up to the end of the nineteenth century—and one of those designs (the Besson "Concertiste" dating from the early 1870s) became the forerunner of modern cornets.
		Courtois cornets in particular captured the fancy of British musicians, thanks in no small measure to the promotional efforts of the virtuoso Koenig of Jullien's orchestra—and especially to the salesmanship of Samuel Arthur Chappell, who succeeded Jullien as a London dealer and importer of Courtois cornets (Waterhouse, 1993, p.
		Yet Courtois was the industry leader in terms both of sales to many of the top musicians of the era, and in inspiring copies of varying degree of fidelity and quality by perhaps the majority of other brass instrument makers in these countries.

	Courtois Creek, Missouri
		The creek is bordered by dense stands of gorgeous trees and indigenous vegetation giving it a remote feel that offers seclusion from signs of civilization in an area with abundant wildlife and little commerical or residential development.
		Courtois Creek closely parallels Huzzah Creek, which has very similar characteristics, and is just north of the splendid Current River and its Jacks Fork River tributary.
		Another excellent characteristic of Courtois Creek is its very close proximity to Huzzah Creek to the west, which flows into Courtois Creek just above the Meramec River confluence, so paddlers can run any of these three waterways without having to drive very far between them.

		Communism did kill, Courtois and his fellow historians demonstrate, with ruthless efficiency: 25 million in Russia during the Bolshevik and Stalinist eras, perhaps 65 million in China under the eyes of Mao Zedong, 2 million in Cambodia, millions more Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America--an astonishingly high toll of victims.
		This freely expressed penchant for homicide, Courtois maintains, was no accident, but an integral trait of a philosophy, and a practical politics, that promised to erase class distinctions by erasing classes and the living humans that populated them.
		Courtois and his contributors document Communism's crimes in numbing detail, moving from country to country, revolution to revolution.

	Courtois River Information!
		The Courtois River channel is somewhat smaller and shallower than the Meramec, and as water levels recede in mid to late summer even canoes may occasionally drag bottom.
		The Courtois River begins in Iron county (to the east) of the Huzzah and runs a generally parallel (approx.
		The short run of the course of both of the Huzzah and Courtois may at first imply an unlikelihood of high-order recreation potential, but in reality these streams offer some of the finest fishing, floating, and swimming fun that exists anywhere, and they should not be overlooked.

	ART / 4 / 2DAY
		— Jacques Courtois and his brother Guillaume (1628-1679) were active in Italy and often known by the Italian forms of the names, Giacomo and Guglielmo Cortese.
		Courtois is an example of a painter who has escaped notice in terms of art history, because of both his isolation from his native Franche Comté (incorporated into France by Louis XIV) and his lack of association with Italian art, even though he spent his whole career in Rome.
		Courtois evolved the archetypal small battle piece, depicting plenty of violence and the smoke of combat, a format that was to remain standard right up to the end of the eighteenth century, though few of its exponents were French.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: French Literature
		On this common theme, the troubadours embroidered variations of the utmost richness; the form which they employed, a very complex one, had given rise to manifold combinations of rhythms.
		The characters they introduce are people of humble or middling station -- tradesmen, artisans, and their women-folk -- who are put through all sorts of ridiculous adventures; their vices and oddities are ridiculed smartly and with some degree of malice -- too often, also with coarseness and indecency.
		These fabliaux are animated by the Gallic spirit of irony and banter, in contrast to the heroic or "gentle" (courtois), spirit which inspires the epic and lyric works.

		The authors used words like "optimistic evaluation" and "might be able to break" to soften their claims, but the paper described a better-than-brute-force attack against Serpent, and possibly one against Rijndael as well.
		When you throw them into the XSL mix, Courtois and Pieprzyk's attack now has a 2^100 complexity, as opposed to the wiffly waffly 2^200-or-so complexity claimed earlier.
		Courtois and Pieprzyk submitted their paper to Crypto 2002, as did Murphy and Robshaw.
