.... Maupassant's association with Flaubert brought him into the French literary circles. Even though Maupassant was often a member of gatherings which included such famous writers such as Flaubert, Turgenev, Zola, and Daudet, he had little interest at the time for a career of writing for himself.

.... a change? Clinton is already, by far, the most powerful man in the universe. Let us just analyze the things that made a king and the things that make Bill Clinton. First of all, a king was able to wage war with whomever he wanted, without the approval of a legislative body. Is that not what Clinton did earlier this year? We waged a war with a country tens of thousands of miles away under the flag of NATO, which Clinton practically controls anyway.
