"French feminist anthropologist Germaine Tillion dies aged 100" Sat Apr 19, 10:59 PM ET "PARIS (AFP) - French anthropologist, feminist, resistance fighter, concentration camp survivor, Algeria peacemaker and writer Germaine Tillion died Saturday aged 100, the chairman of the foundation named after her announced. Her acts were an inspiration to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who told her in a letter marking her centenary in May 2007 of his wish to bestow on her "the affection of the entire nation". "Anthropology, feminism, of course, the Resistance, deportation, the fight for social justice, the war in Algeria, but also so many books, so many research works ... It is not possible for me to evoke here every aspect of such a beautiful and important life," Sarkozy added. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080420/ts_afp/franceculturehistorywwiialgeriapeopletillion_080420025924;_ylt=Alk5cBDTQPNyZe8NH1fokEciANEA

The missing part of the article goes on to say that Ms Tillion, who had not had intercourse in almost 40 years, keeled over upon contemplating President Sarkozy's meaning.....[8\|] No, she sounds like an incredible woman, Vendaval.

I think that President Sarkozy had something more chaste in mind. [sm=couple.gif] And her life was quite extraordinary. [sm=flying.gif]
