French news headlines:Le Monde: Middle-East Truce Threatened by Terrorism. Israeli forces killed an Al-Aqsa member and that group says a retaliatory strike is coming in the next 24 hours.
Le Figaro: Berlusconi Renders the Italian Presidency Fragile. Lousy translation, but fully accurate. The story: Italy holds the presidency of the European Union right now but Italian PM Berlusconi's comments about a German deputy being perfect to play head of a Nazi prison camp have left both him and his office greatly diminished.
Libération: Liberty, Equality, Secularism?. The President of the French Republic says that different religions and religious factions must not be allowed to destroy national cohesion and unity.
Ouest-France: Results Day for the Bac. If all our teenagers got back their SATs and ACTs the same day and most felt as though their lives depended on how they did, you'd know about 1/10th of what it means to be a French person on this day, or so I gather from my reading and my time in France alike.
