    (Liberation idees) Derniers indicateurs inversés, mais pas les moindres, j’ai nommé le New York Times et le Washington Post. Ces organes de la bien-pensance américaine peinent à prendre la mesure de la symbolique du meurtre de l’enseignant de Conflans. Une fois encore, ils manifestent leur souci...
