	Multilingual Communication Essential for Science
		It was disappointing to learn that linguistic chauvinism has reared its head once again in the form of a law proposed several months ago by Jacques Toubon, France’s Minister of Culture.
		Toubon’s hobbyhorse, if set to rocking, would have been a sorry expression of nationalistic fervour likely to be: unenforceable; an embarrassing revelation of France’s inability to integrate itself maturely into today’s global community; and a heavy setback regarding that nation’s pursuits in the international science community.
		For Jacques Toubon and other Francophiles who still cling to their misguided linguistic dreams, I must repeat a challenge I made almost 20 years ago.
