The editorial notes large scale national draft deferment tests to determine if students stay in college or are drafted. It argues the selective service system is out of whack with local boards using general quotas, causing higher per capita drafts from rural areas and calling for intellect considerations in the armed forces.
The piece argues the draft quota favors cities over small towns and that deferment rules vary by area. It notes home base is the 18 year old registration point, not where one lives later, and highlights exemptions for vital occupations like farming. The author claims exemptions push youths to college, creating shortages and prompting deferment tests, concluding the system badly needs reform without making anyone happy.
The piece traces the Louvre as it stood in the 16th century, noting its position by the Seine, adjoining buildings Jeu de Pomme and Orangerie, and the Tuilleries gardens. It recalls rulers from Louis II to Louis XIV, Richelieu, and the Revolution, and praises how France preserves its royal appurtenances while the Louvre now houses the world’s greatest museum and its Impressionist and private collections.
