 Commitment, commercialism and the dawning of image culture:
Yet what marks out LExpress in particular is that it can be seen not only as an agent of change, participating fully in the redevelopment of the nation through its ties with Mendès-France, but also as itself a symptom of the changes affecting France at the time.
Indeed, Sartre had transferred his affections to LExpress ’s long-time rival France-Observateur, which also relauched itself in 1964 as Le Nouvel Observateur, having recruited disaffected members of the Express editorial team, such as Jean Daniel.
Convinced that he was the only politician capable of carrying out the necessary reforms, it devoted itself entirely both to the possibility of bringing Mendès-France to power, and to the rebirth of France along the lines he was suggesting.

 Fierce Serb Nationalism Pervades Student Foes of Belgrade Leader
On Sunday night, Jack Lang, former minister of culture in France, arrived to express his support for the student protesters.
The incident, intellectual dissidents in Belgrade say, illustrates that the challenges for those who want to change Serbia do not lie in overturning the rule of one man, but in transforming a society that considers racist remarks to be acceptable and has learned to express itself in the language of hate.
Lang stumbled unwittingly on the virulent Serbian nationalism that has increasingly colored the anti-government protests by students here.

Tour de France (2003) elegantly segues into Autobahn (1975), and a track from Trans-Europe Express (1977) is followed by several from Computer World (1981).
Minimum-Maximum illuminates Kraftwerk’s true legacy — the mind-bending, side winding melodies of Tour de France, Autobahn, and Trans-Europe Express, melodies that have seeded countless 80s hits and entire sub-genres of techno (electroclash).
Kraftwerk’s oeuvre lends itself to this a-chronological ordering; it’s not that the album is carefully sequenced so much as that the Moog synths, propulsive drum machines, and Speak-n-Spell vocals are so distinctive even a random arrangement of Kraftwerk songs (and yes, they are songs) would sound premeditated.

 U.S. News: The easy path to the United States for three of the 9/11 hijackers (12/12/01)
In a statement, Christopher Lamora, a State Department spokesman, said that Visa Express was instituted, based on a "traditionally low visa-refusal rate and incidence of fraud among Saudi applicants.'' He said that similar "interviews-by-exception programs' were in place in other countries, including France and the United Kingdom.
The Visa Express program, put in place just four months before the attacks, allowed the three hijackers to arrange their visas through a State Department-designated travel agency, the official says.
Of the 15 hijackers who obtained their non-immigrant visas in Saudi Arabia, the U.S. official says, 11 received them before the Visa Express program was put into place, in June.
