                                      [p hoto Albert Facelly pour Libératio n] I can't see how François Fillon could possibly be beaten in the presidential course. His lead is enormous. From this point on, a new problem arises on the horizon. We must make sure that the extreme right-wing party, the Front National , sinks rapidly into oblivion.

When I met up with my future wife in Paris, our most adorable friends were Paul Faye and his wife Lulu , who lived in the Rue Servandoni. One of their close friends was Paul Tourenne , who was a member of the Frères Jacques group of music-hall artists. I often met up with him, and Christine and I were invited to their concert. Paul became very interested in photography, and I believe he went to live with his son Robin Tourenne in Montréal. I’m saddened to learn that Paul Tourenne, 93, has just disappeared from the scene. Paul Tourenne is wearing light-gray.

Albert Einstein ’s theory of general relativity was first published a hundred years ago, during the week of November 18-25, 1915. It remains such a colossal achievement of intellectual imagination that few people come to grips with it. The other day, on French television, a journalist suggested that an expert in science might tell us whether he preferred the photo of Einstein poking his tongue out. To my mind, that’s a little like asking Lincoln’s widow what she thought of the play Our American Cousin , or suggesting that the Creator might talk about his recreational activities on the seventh day.

I’ve been admiring a discussion about contingency between Elisa New and Richard Dawkins . They were inspired by the famous poem by Robert Frost : The Road Not Taken . To see the video interview, click here .

The world has been fascinated by the curves of Marilyn Monroe for decades. Click here to access a website with a video about the 17 November sale in Los Angeles of Marilyn’s skin-tight dress for 4.5 million euros. Meanwhile, in France, another famous item of female wear entered a Paris costume museum. I’m talking of the outfit worn by the ecology politician Cécile Duflot . In July 2012, Madame Duflot caused a stir among male dinosaurs when she appeared in the French parliament wearing this delightful dress. And she hadn’t even started to sing a birthday song for our president François Hollande .

Ignorance reminds me of Christianity's meekness and mildness, and their ridiculous business about turning the other cheek. There's also that stupid idea about industrial wealth transforming good citizens into camels who can no longer stroll through the eye of a needle. The more I think about it, the more I reckon that Jesus was a pretty ignorant sort of a young man. His Jewish father should have sent his son to a good college... and let him grow up with smart young women.

#FillonPresident #Fillon2017 He’s a good-looking provincial fellow with a time-honored old French given name : François. He’s also a little “vieille France” (old France). It’s not hard to understand why the French—totally shocked by Islamic terrorists and Trump, fed up by Sarko and Copé, slightly irritated by the self-esteem of the older Juppé—find that Fillon is surely a simple man of qualities. That's what we need today : simplicity and human qualities. photo Jean-Sébastien Evrard  / AFP
