I shall be attending tonight a dinner with Valery Giscard d'Estaing, given by the French alumni associations of INSEAD, Harvard, Wharton and Stanford.
The theme tonight will be on the European Constitution, something he has been working on for the past few years, as Chairman of the European Convention, a body that attempted to draft our new Consitution.
VGE, as he is known in this country, is a former President of the French Republic, and a prominent center-right politician. Biographies abund on the Internet. Check those from Encyclopedia.com, l'Elysée, l'Académie Française, the French National Assembly, and the European Convention.
I will post relevant comments on tonight's discussions shortly.
