Dear subscribers,
Rather than rehashing the new measures announced Thursday by the government, including the generalization of the curfew at 6 p.m. which comes into force this evening, I suggest that you begin this new European press review with a nice interview with Professor Nicholas Christakis, interviewed in
Die Welt
on what the world will be like after the covid.
The American intellectual has always shown great freedom of mind - especially in 2015, on the Yale University campus undermined by anti-racist pressure groups, when he calmly but firmly defended his wife who recalled simply the right of any student to dress up as they wish for Halloween.
Faced with an avalanche of insults and pressure from students offended by their "cultural sensitivity", he ended up resigning from his post as professor in charge of school life at Silliman, one of the colleges on campus.
Ivy League member Yale University is an academic flagship of the East Coast.
