Top French newspaper headlines or what Parisians will see walking by the newstand:Le Monde: Iraq on the edge of anarchy. But Mosul is settling down.
Le Figaro: Washington wants to make Paris pay. Chirac, Putin and Schroeder met and declared that they and the UN would have to be given a central role in reconstruction. Dep. Sec. Defense Wolfowitz lit into the lot of 'em for their hubris.
Libération: How long will the horror last? Namely, the siege at the mosque and the widespread looting.
Meanwhile, in an effort to broaden our coverage, we thought we'd add one paper and selected Ouest-France, the regional paper of Bretagne, published in Rennes (where I once lived about six months). Ouest-France is thought to be the most widely read paper in France (several local papers outperform the big Paris-centered dailies). But the beginning, I fear, is inauspicious: It wasn't published today because of a strike. Here's the link, however. It has also been added to the permalinks at left.
Another daily we'll be checking from time to time is up and running, however, so here's the latest from La Nouvelle République, which I read during my brief time in Tours:
Buffalo Grill Restaurants Burned in Paris Region. Three of them.
Baghdad Collapses into Anarchy. Which we all knew.
They use php pop-ups to show stories, though, which screws up linking, part of why Ouest-France - when it's working - will probably be the regional paper we update on.
