From Babel to Pentecost
The most prolific and versatile French poet of the mid-twentieth century, Pierre Emmanuel's oeuvre spans five decades and an astonishing array of forms, from epics and love sonnets to patriotic works and prayers. The first full-length study of his works in English, From Babel to Pentecost brings Emmanuel's works to a new generation and a new readership. Mary Anne O'Neil's meticulous study of Emmanuel's complete works traces the poet's development as a thinker and artist while surveying both French and English scholarship on Emmanuel from the 1940s to the present. Employing close readings of poems as well as intertextual and psychoanalytic approaches, O'Neil draws connections between Emmanuel's influences, vocabulary, imagery, and meters, while translations allow English-language readers to engage directly with the texts. O'Neil's insightful commentary sheds light on the poet's relationship to movements in European poetry, to poets of Classical Greece, the Latin Middle Ages, and the Renaissance, and to sacred Hebrew, Hindu, and Buddhist verse. Keenly attuned to the changing world around him, Pierre Emmanuel exemplifies a poet's power to clarify the human condition, to move, and to teach. From Babel to Pentecost enables readers to rediscover the enduring richness and relevance of his work.

Taittinger chief bubbles with rage over succession issues in family businesses
\"When you are old, you don't believe anymore, even in your kids; you only like people who flatter you. You don't hear advice, especially when it's tough.\" \"It wasn't about ego or ambition. I did it for the customers of Taittinger, for the employees, and for my region because Taittinger is a champagne firm and must remain a champagne firm.\" It probably wasn't what attendees were expecting but Taittinger isn't your typical champagne boss. He abhors questions about the composition of his champagnes; decries the practice of scoring wines; and regularly digresses into politics, poetry and, like every self-respecting Frenchman, sex. He recently compared his product to Viagra, noting it was popularised by a mistress of Louis XV, who apparently found the king \"a much better lover\" when he was drinking champagne.

Foetal leg anomaly baffles doctors
The mother was unaware of the rupture and displayed no symptoms. Women with uterine ruptures usually feel pain, [Pierre-Emmanuel Bouet] said, brought about by internal bleeding. But the hernia \"compressed the walls of the uterine rupture,\" he said, \"and acted as a haemostatic effect.\" That is, the position of the amniocele and baby legs plugged the rupture, preventing blood loss.

Haiti: Highlights of Radio Haiti-Inter news 1200 gmt 13 Feb 02
15. The National Palace press office has sent Radio Haiti Inter a press release blaming the station for not telling the complete truth when it reported that Aristide did not address justice issues in his 7 February speech in Leogane. In order to set the record straight, the press office sent Radio Haiti Inter a recorded portion of the speech where Aristide asked those in attendance to observe a moment of silence in memory of Jean Dominique. It should be recalled that Aristide chose to celebrate the first anniversary of his inauguration as head of state at the Leopold Dominique Sugar Cane Company in Darbonne, Leogane. The announcer, Dominique's widow Michele Montas, points out that even though a moment of silence was observed in memory of her husband, the head of state did not address judicial issues in his speech, contenting himself with making a political assessment of his government.

She believes that the participation of several hundred Haitians from the Diaspora represents an economist boost to the country and she hopes that this initiative will facilitate the resumption of tourist activities in Haiti. Haitians who came from overseas expressed their satisfaction but severely criticized police attitudes and complained that the participants needed more room. The carnival did not start on time and, as a result, the organizing committee had to extend the duration time. Radio Haiti Inter hopes the organizers will learn from their mistakes next year.
