...appeal to professional photographers. Newspapers and magazines may be prime clients because the delivery speed and quality of electronic pictures is likely to be better than that of chemically developed photos transmitted by wire. Sony already has a method for sending its electronic images over telephone lines. Said F.W. Lyon, vice president for Newspictures of United Press International: "If the quality comes close to conventional cameras, this will have far-reaching implications for our business...
Saunier-Seïté defended her cutbacks as an efficiency move that will end course duplication and restrict graduate education to major university centers like Paris, Bordeaux, Grenoble, Lille, Lyon, Nancy and Strasbourg. These, she hopes, will become "poles of excellence." (With that in mind she also doubled the number of classroom hours required for all graduate degrees, and so far students have not complained.)

...most ways, Malville is a tunelessly idyllic French village. Chickens wander the lanes that link the stone farmhouses, while cows graze alongside the clear Rhone River. Yet the hamlet (pop. 50), located about 30 miles east of Lyon, has a strikingly modern feature. Within a large fenced-off area, tall construction cranes hover over a huge concrete cylinder that will contain the world's most advanced nuclear power plant, a fast-breeder reactor christened Super Phenix...
