The Economist has an excellent article on London and Paris, two cities in which I have lived for various short lengths of time.
Astrologers say London is ruled by Gemini, Paris by Virgo, both ruled by the planet Mercury, and "mercurial" is a good way to describe the zest for life both cities offer. Click on the link and enjoy an interesting analysis that only the Economist could provide.
"Much have I seen and known; cities of men And manners, climates, councils, governments, ...the fortune of us that are the moon's men doth ebb and flow like the sea, being govern'd, as the sea is, by the moon" [Henry IV, I.ii.31-33] HISTORY NEVER REPEATS ITSELF, BUT IT OFTEN RHYMES "There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America." Otto von Bismarck
