We read Dave Barry's new year piece, which had Lance riding down the Champs d'Elysees with his hands raised in a victory gesture, which led the French army to surrender en masse. Barry then said, Sorry, that was a cheap shot. One unit held out for almost two days... But the French did fight bravely in WWI; we should give them credit for that. "They shall not pass..." and all that. How many French does it take to defend Paris? Nobadoy knows; it hasn't been tried. That was really unfair; that HAVE tired, and succeeded, in WWI, just not in 1870 or 1940 ('39?). You know my story of trying to speak French in a bookstore, asking for the memoirs of Charles De Gaulle. "Perhaps you had rather speak English," was the haughty reply. But I am really impressed that you are trying to speak French! Excellent. Wright Good writing, Brandon.
