The new Monde Diplomatique features a 1978 interview with Borges, printed for the first time (pp.
24-25).
Very small quote: 'Observez le mot saxon bleich, qui signifie incolore. Il a évolué dans deux sens
opposés. En espagnol vers blanc (blanco) et en anglais vers noir (black)'
'Take a look at the saxon word bleich, meaning uncoloured. It evolved into two opposed meanings.
In Spanish into white and in English into black.'
And much more of course, esp. an article by Jean Bricmont (p.22). Some are already looking for
their gun.
I do not know if it is also available on their web site. The paper version only costs 4 euro.
Michel.
