Sports - Rugby: a good start for the French team in the 5 nations tournament. 3. Metal woman - Is metallurgy going into women’s fashions? Coats of mail and helmets have become the newest “material”. 4. Canada and modern art - A new exhibition in Paris, launched by the words of Andre Malraux “An absolutely specific palette has arisen - that of Canada”. 5. Master copyists - Purposeful or accidental? A Parisian art-collector has asembled an impressive collection of masterpieces with strange analogies. Says Salvador Dali: “Perrugino painted immortal canvases; Raphael copied them, and suddenly the miracle of Raphael’s originality came to the fore”.
