Europe is busy tending political, economic health

"Europe is busy tending political, economic health - by
Dan Simpson, a retired diplomat, who is a member on the editorial boards of The Blade and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

TONNERRE, France — "I always find it especially difficult to assess what is going on in Europe from France, particularly from deep in the country, la France profonde."

These places — like Burgundy on the canal, surrounded by big, fat Charlier cattle, well-provisioned in this area, and the Yonne, with excellent Chablis wine — are very French and seemingly less European."
