RÓNÁN MULLEN, in analysing Valéry Giscard D’Estaing’s draft European constitution (Irish Examiner, June 11), forgot one important point: the French, who gave us Jean-Paul Sartre’s Being and Nothingness and Monsieur Guillotine’s revolutionary invention (the bread slicer), are quite capable of anything.

POOR old Giscard d’Estaing. There he was with his nice draft European constitution all ready for the Thessaloniki summit on June 20, and what happened?
