#3 How do you minimize the damage of a collapse?

"We have institutions that work, we have pressed ahead with enlargement which will take place on May 1," Chirac told a news conference. "There is no drama or crisis with a capital 'C'."

So you see, it was a collapse, but not a Collapse.

#6 80,000 pages! Holy Schitkis! That's bigger than a Grainger catalogue. Just think of setting up one of those with cross references, keyword search, etc etc. on a database.

#10 Actually, a 2 speed Europe isn't a bad idea: The original core of the EC was six countries, wasn't it, which grew out of the Benelux treaty? For once, Chiraq is talking about leading by actually getting out in front and setting an example. Besides, political union with Germany would give the future President of the union more clout to get bennies for the aging French populace. If he can't get the whole loaf now, he'll settle for two or three slices, since that'll be more than the one slice he has now. Not great progress, but "progress" nevertheless.
