French news headlines:Le Monde: Two New Israeli Raids Into Gaza. Also, on the unrest front, we have Unions Call For Another Action Day On Retirement. Says Le Monde, everybody knows the steam has gone out of the effort but they're trying to keep up pressure for a new round of negotiations. The tone does not suggest they're likely to get it.
Le Figaro: I'm going to dress up the headline: Pax Americana Tested. The reference is to renewed violence in Iraq.
Libé: A Success For the Future European Constitution, namely getting a working draft out of the 105 member commission putting it together. France takes a special interest because former President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing (sufficiently famous that newspapers sometimes just refer to VGE, à la JFK) is head of the show.
Ouest-France: Same line as Libé: The Convention Adopts Its Constitution.
