[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.
