French news headlines:Le Monde: UN Resolution Revisited by Washington. A revised resolution calling for the lifting of sanctions which gives the UN a greater role in postwar Iraq was presented by the US.
Le Figaro: Blocking Exams: The Threat Grows. We're in the middle of yet another national education strike, the sixth since Sept. 2002, with some year end exams already ruined and others in danger of being messed up. Teachers actively interfered with students trying to take exams in some cities. This is France: for "the good of the students," tests that will affect where the kids place in the universities, whether they get into advanced programs, etc., are being canceled, postponed and disrupted in progress so that teachers can make their points about Chirac and Raffarin. Nothing so selfish as a Frenchman with a cause.
Libé: Ferry [setup for public education, named for a former education minister] headed downhill. See above.
Ouest-France: Teachers keep up the pressure.
