Looks like Sarko has timed the news of his divorce (from second wife Cecilia) to mitigate the ire of strikers and citizens. The full general strike, to protest his plan to overhaul France's public sector, has been relegated to second page world-wide with the divorce announcement (which we have been awaiting for some time) making headlines.
On strike for 24 hours:
all rail service
most subway service
bus service
most taxis
many museums
Even the opera was canceled...
