But not a drop of blood. That was the court's verdict in The Merchant of Venice, and a similar one would obtain in this case: access, but not by conventional means. So, is there an airport to be built at Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, or a heliport?

I know about the American blood in France. Some of it belongs to my family.

I have heard that the French are rude to everybody, and especially to each other. (The statement comes from Candace Bergen, appearing on "The Tonight Show". She lived in France for many years with her husband, Frenchman Louis Malle.) It's no excuse for us to be rude, unless, of course, we wish to take French deportment as our model.
