Happy 25th of May! In Paris, 1968, students took over for a while, workers went on strike, television and radio news ceased broadcast, and the government was forced to try negotiation. Here are some artifacts: posters, slogan. Lots of info and a time-line are linked on this page. And don’t forget to watch Bertolucci’s The Dreamers tonight to celebrate.

If anyone can find a CD of the band “The 25th of May” please, please send me a copy. I have been searching for a long time.

Yeah, we have been using them for years.
