Post-tour Editorial Cleanup II

13 jours avant le 2e tour

FRANCE: A NATION IN DECLINE?
BREST April 13, 2007 (Independent)

FRANCE WRESTLES WITH ITS OWN DECLINE
PARIS April 14, 2007 (ABC News/AP)

'SECOND-TIER' COUNTRY: AS VOTE NEARS,
FRANCE CONFRONTS DECLINE

PARIS April 14, 2007 (USA TODAY)

April 21, 2007 (NZH)
