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.
