[microsound] o t recommended reading
i know this is rather an obvious classic, yet i'd never actually read
it until recently. the type is large enough that it shouldn't hurt your
dear little eyes. (i know , it's possible to change the size of the
characters with almost any browser , yet that changes the paragraph
alignment. )

French Voters Soundly Reject European Union Constitution
Early this month, Mr. Chirac had vowed not to change his government
if the referendum failed, saying it was "neither a plebiscite nor a
moment of political change."
But the vote, which made France the first country to reject the treaty,
has deeply wounded the French president. More than 50 years ago, France
was a founding member of the six-country precursor to the current
European Union. Mr. Chirac had assumed that through the constitution, a
document similar in some ways to the Constitution that binds the United
States, France could promote a stronger, more unified Europe that could
project not only economic but also political power around the world. He
repeatedly spoke of a "multipolar world" with Europe as one of the
poles counter-balancing the United States.
