		At a time when the French were no longer willing to die for their country, they were 'unanimous in discovering their interest and affection for it', in all the diversity of its manifold expressions.
		It is tempting to wonder whether the answer lies simply in the relative selfconfidence of each sector: the continuing native vitality of French history and theory inducing indifference to foreign output, and the declining prestige of French letters prompting compensation in the role of a universal dragoman.
		Its cultural monuments, the shoddy eyesores of Mitterrand's grands travaux and vulgarity of Jack Lang's star-shows, rightly detested by conservative opinion, were the epitome of everything signified by the progress of banalisation.

		An OpinionWay survey last month said she was the politician the French would most want to vacation with, putting her slightly ahead of Sarkozy, while the French edition of men's magazine FHM ranked Royal No. 6 on a list of the world's sexiest women, ahead of Sharon Stone and Penelope Cruz.

		Armenia: French To Recognize Genocide Committed By Turks By Joel Blocker Prague, 28 May 1998 (RFE/RL) -- Despite strong objections from Ankara, the French National Assembly is set tomorrow to recognize officially the Armenian genocide by Turks that Armenians say took place more than 80 years ago in what was then the Ottoman Empire.
		Committee chairman Jack Lang is a former minister and close associate of the late Socialist President Francois Mitterrand, who himself personally but publicly recognized the Armenian genocide while in office.
		The flamboyant Lang, whose popularity remains high among French voters, was a senior minister for both education and culture in the last Mitterrand government (1993-95).

	The French & Lying @noDeception.com
		The quote is from a new book by Thierry Pfister, a French editor, who uses it to illustrate his thesis that for the French mind, lying in politics is the norm, and that anyone trying to attach a standard of truthfulness to a politician's behavior is naive and worthy of contempt.
		He says that the French elite is terrified by the case's implications for its privileges, and that this is the reason, much more than in other democratic countries, that the yearlong reaction here to the impeachment process has been one of ridicule, self-satisfied righteousness, and feigned concern for the future of the United States.
		Pfister singled out the Socialist president of the foreign affairs commission of the National Assembly, Jack Lang, as an example of the French public and media figures who were expressing shock about a so-called re-birth of McCarthyism in the United States, while their concerns, he said, were obviously elsewhere.

	TCS Daily - France's Spring Break Perpetuel
		But if a French politician recklessly feels that he (or she) should align the country with modern economic reality, he certainly should know better than to target those elements in society that have little better to do than protest.
		No doubt, future politicians' careers were forged amidst these clashes of police and protesters; the more they protested, the greater the chance they might get invited for orange juice at the prime minister's place.
		And to spend your first two years in the job-market not knowing that that job will in fact be the one you keep for the rest of your life is probably too much to ask from anyone who still expects a career like their grandparents and parents.

		The 65-year-old Mr Lang, who rose to international prominence in the 1980s when serving as the country's culture minister, has been in the news because of his efforts to drum up French support for Africa.
		Mr Lang is one of the very few French politicians publicly to express admiration for Mr Blair even though he says he disagrees with the British prime minister over many issues, most notably Iraq.
