From the Christian Science Monitor:

From its first issue in 1973, the iconoclastic newspaper, Libération, proclaimed itself an enemy of the rich. Banks were evil. Making money was bourgeois. It would serve the people, its long-haired founders proclaimed, not act as a slave to business interests.

LibĂ©ration, created in the heady years following the French student revolt of 1968, is now in the throes of a devastating financial crisis and threatened with major layoffs and a forced restructuring. And those same capitalists and bankers it once detested may be the paper’s only saviors.

Whether Boris Yeltsin will show up at the headquarters of the newspaper standing atop a tank is uncertain.
