Harriet's Not Afraid - Richard Erickson - Harriet Welty Rochefort and I have something in common. Between us, we've lived in or near Paris for a combined total of 55 years. This explains how we almost blow our first rendez-vous.


Letter From Paris - Harriet Welty-Rochefort - An American friend of ours, a history professor who visits Paris every few years, told us on his most recent trip that "the French have become so dear, so polite." He recounts sitting in a café where he was given someone else's order. "Twenty years ago," he says, "the waiter would have plunked it down in front of me and told me it was my problem, not his. This one apologized politely, speedily took the wrong drink away, and brought back the right one with a smile."


The Paris Commune of 1871 - Norman Barth - The story of the Paris Commune is an important, but complicated one In this short piece, Norman tries to communicate the grand lines of what happened, using sources not too far removed from the events themselves. For a brief period of time in the Spring of 1871 the first revolution in which the working class played a central role came to be.
