Paris dispatch describes how the French National Assembly operates with many parties and clan-like factions. Deputies bargain in the Palais Bourbon’s refreshment room, using wine fueled deals and informal alliances to decide key votes. The Assembly is theatrical, with uproars, desk-banging, and occasional clashes, while enduring figures like 82-year-old Edouard Herriot and resistance heroes mark its dramatic history.

Sales tax urged to aid New Hampshire schools
The Joint Committee on Public Schools recommended a 1 percent sales tax to raise over 4.5 million dollars annually for education, earmarked for schools and head tax relief. It argues NH underfunds schools versus other states and that current taxes burden property owners. The proposal would exempt food and medicines and seeks to offset rising local property taxes and head taxes amid enrollment growth.
