...influential movers in France are now eager to put the relationship back on a friendlier footing. In a recent paper French think tank Institut Montaigne laid out an ambitious agenda for the two nations, arguing that a new impetus is needed if Europe's voice is to be heard in a world full of big new players, such as Brazil and India, and at a time when President Obama seems far more preoccupied with China and the rest of Asia than with America's traditional allies in Europe. Among other proposals, the think tank recommends that France share...

...Theatre is showing a series of films funded by and promoting the Marshall Plan in Western Europe in a program called “Selling Democracy, Films of the Marshall Plan: 1948-1953.” The event, organized by curator Sandra P.

The films range widely in genre and rhetorical strategy, from simple narratives about how the Plan’s programs could improve daily life, to more broadly pedantic lectures...

What's legally defined as "champagne" in most of the world comes only from a specific 84,000-acre (34,000 hectares) region. An 80-year-old French law carefully maps where the grapes--pinot noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay--can be grown. The Institut National de l'Origine et de la Qualit (INAO) determines exactly how much the winegrowers can produce--this year's harvest is expected to bring in 400million bottles. With a steadily increasing demand, winemakers have asked French regulators to commit what would once have been considered heresy: to redefine or even expand the boundaries...

...he’s not a redcoat who eschewed the Oxbridge system for a Harvard education. He’s actually French—from Annecy, a small town in the Alps near Geneva. And he’s one of the two students from L’Institut d’Études Politiques de Paris (dubbed Sciences Po) on campus this semester. But Mason isn’t your average visiting student. He’s an exchange student. And the difference isn’t just in the semantics. It’s an entirely different...
