    I'm reminded of the wonderful skit in "Beyond the Fringe", in which Peter Cook as the retired general at a public meeting reads out the official government advice in the event of a nuclear attack: "Now, some people have said, four minutes, that's not a very long time. But I'd remind those doubters that some people in this great country of ours can run a mile in four minutes!"

      INFO LE FIGARO - Coup de théâtre. Alors que l'oeuvre du compositeur devait tomber dans le domaine public ce dimanche 1er mai, une procédure secrète pourrait prolonger les droits d'auteur de vingt ans ! Un bonus évalué à 20 millions d'euros.
