France: Le Monde seeks more contact with readers
Agence France Presse announced that Le Monde's director Jean-Marie Colombani wants to "bring the newspaper closer to its readers." On the editorial page of yesterday's Le Monde he explained further: "Today, the purpose of the journalists at Le Monde is to examine and analyze the newspaper, to re-appropriate it and hence return the paper to its readers." Colombani said that he envisions a new phase in Le Monde's history. Together with the new editor-in-chief Gérard Courtois, Colombani wants to tackle the structural and economic difficulties the newspaper is currently facing.

I should like contact with your science correspondent because I am preparing an article (bilingual) to describe and discuss TWO/three of the greatest advances in the treatment of diseases states that took place in Paris- about 100 years apart- at two institutions not very far part:
Pasteur's (i) Germ theory of infection and the attenuated vaccine treatment of a 9 yr old Joseph Meister:
Germ Theory of Infection, Rabies treatment of a 9 year old boy by Pasteur- 1860s-18888 Mand in 1988- began -"Thérapie cellulaire régénérative": From the work begun with the success at Hôpital St Louis- 'Ombilical' cord blood immature progenitor stem cell treatment of a 5 yr old boy with Fanconi's anaemia in 1988- paper in the New England J of Medicine., 1989- cooperation between the USA scientists and Prof Eliane Gluckman.
y association with Paris- Hôpital St Antoine-r. Chaligny- 1976 onwards
and Nancy- 1970 when first invited to lecture by Pr Constance Burg- Dir INSERM to help transfer the Cambridge technology- One ablemedical candiate doing his MD came for a short time to learn the Cambridge technology and the collaboration continued 1976-1985 worked on the ombilical cord stem immature progenitor cells as well.
A geneticist from Nancy also collaborated for surface molecular genetics.
"Controle génétique de la region H2 sur la topographie chimique de la surface cellulaire: étude des groupements amines cationiques a la péripherie des lymphocytes T. Annales d’Immunologie (Paris). (Paris). 1977 Jan-Mar; 128(1-2): 211-3.
Also more papers.
It would be great to celebrate this event- now also yesterday 3 scientists got the Nobel prizes for stem cells (albeit embryonic).
Pl ask some one to contact me by e-mail or direct tel

Two very bright scientists (during the time Pr Constance Burg, Dir. INSERM)
