Of all the animals of prey, man is the only sociable one.
Every one of us preys upon his neighbour, and yet we herd together.

    MW, if only! Actually, that might have enhanced his standing with the Parisians, whose main complaint seems to be his lack of style.

    Malpas, you're right - the behavioural patterns are pretty much those established after the Revolution (with an interesting resemblance to the bedroom antics of the ill-fated monarchy).

    As for women throwing themselves at Hollande and Sarkozy...
    a billet at the Elysee is clearly a supremely powerful aphrodisiac.
