There's a front-page story in today's Wall Street Journal
about the international controversy over the US proposal
to do away with leap seconds.  Apparently, the French think
the US proposal is
	a "coup de force," or power play, and an "intrusion
	on the scientific dialogue."
and it was an election issue in the UK.
