The myth of the great French detective

Article Abstract:

It is widely reported in the UK media that almost none of the murders of Britons carried out in France since the 1970s have been solved. In fact, information presented by the UK media is very misleading, with several murders of Britons in France for which the culprit has been imprisoned or a suspect is awaiting trial not having been reported at all. It is true that there are a considerable number of unsolved murders, but this must be balanced against the fact that many Britons either visit or live in France.

Because he's worth it

Article Abstract:

L'Oreal Pres Lindsay Owen-Jones has played a substantial part in making the company the largest cosmetics firm in the world. He did not react to the economic slow-down in the early 1990s by downsizing and reducing costs in order to preserve short-term profits, and showed considerable foresight in making extensive investment, especially in research. He has not imposed a French style on the company, allowing the US and Italian brands to maintain and even develop their specific national identities.
