The turn of the year 2000 passes without the feared computer bug. The dot-com bubble bursts in spring. In July a Concorde crashes near Paris and shakes a supersonic dream. In November the American election between Bush and Gore stays undecided for over a month.

Bernard Tavitian

Carcassonne
Klaus-Jürgen Wrede
