Alexis, mais oui!
It has been two hundred years since de Toqueville toured the then young United States and left his memorable diary. This year the ATLANTIC MONTHLY asked a countryman of de Toqueville to pay a visit and give a report. Here is Bernard-Henri Levy's account. It has some surprising observations. Given what we are told of the French view of America, the views are especially refreshing and sparkling with intuition. Give him a read. http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/prem/200505/levy
