...family. But another potential -though minor-international flash point has been damped down. Raising his glass in a toast last week, President Cruz remarked that Washington had been wise to give up the Swans. If it had not, he hinted with a straight face, Honduras would have had to resort to force...

The results are visible, for example, in rapidly expanding port facilities at Dunkirk and Le Havre. Nowhere has life changed so much as along the western Riviera, where builders are hard at work on Fos-sur-Mer, a new port that will provide entry to a vast inland shipping route.

At the baths, Mother's attempts at strict motherliness break down under close quarters, and Laurent asserts his maturity by taking on the role of her public escort. His pride...
