In the ensuing months improvements continued with the paving of the original airstrip, the construction of a new main north-south runway and a temporary passenger terminal. In 1957 the Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie d’Ajaccio et Sarténe (the local chamber of commerce) took over the management of the airport.

The progressive developnent of the common aviation market has necessitated a comprehensive evaluatio~ of aid measures established in favour of Community air carriers. Therefore, all Member States have ·been asked to update the available information on existing aids. 2. The Commission•s services have carried out a careful assessment of the situation.

  • Paris: Capital of Cultural Theory and Postmodernism
    Paris: Capital of Cultural Theory and Postmodernism Matt Evans, Comp. Lit. Major ’08 Paris is most astounding in the early morning, when the daily clamor sleeps and one is left alone with the city’s monumental architecture and relentlessly inspiring occidental design. It is at these moments when you are left gaping at the most stunning testimony of the fatter portion of modern civilization’s aesthetic achievements. As the bakers knead away and the markets prop their first tents, you can seamlessly recall all the pre-war homage to the City of Lights: Hemmingway’s A Movable Feast, Orwell’s Down and Out, or Stein’s salon utopias. Words no longer seem necessary, for it all seems to make sense on a proto-linguistic level, which appropriately enough was one of the artistic visions of that particular time. There were countless times when I had this early morning to myself, and they remain beyond worth. However, if this is the Paris you except and desire when you go there to study, you will be disappointed. Because although Paris is most astounding in the early morning—especially for those curious travelers who despise the constant chatter of snap shots and wailing tour guides—it is only “morning” for so long. The rest of the day is quite different. For so long Paris has been a destination to consume culture and history. After all, the Parisians play their roles well if it means that they can take advantage of eager travelers and study-abroad students. But much of the city, if approached in this manner, will dishearten, and furthermore consume the countless visitors it receives daily.
