...problem is that OPEC has become a monopoly, said Henri Simonet, vice president of the Commission of the European Communities (Common Market). "There are only two ways of having a price picture that is tolerable to the world as a whole," he declared. The industrialized nations must become self-sufficient in energy-which is unlikely...
France's King Henri III first dropped in for dinner on March 4, 1582, and became a regular patron of the Parisian hostelry. Since Harry's day, its habitues have ranged from musketeers to movie stars, presidents to prelates.

Advocates of the practice, like Bishop Henri Derouet of Sées in Normandy, recognize that people worship best in their own communities. "If they have to go some other place to Mass, they do not feel at home," says Derouet, "and eventually they stop going." There are critics, of course. While lay-led Catholic services are commonplace in mission countries like Africa, and have become popular in priest-short areas such as East Germany, some of the French clergy still see them...
