101 Mitterrand, François
(adj. Mittérandiste)(1916 - 1996)Françoisz Mitterrand was the longest serving French president under the Fifth Republic. Mitterrand, a Socialist, served two full terms in office, from 1981 to 1995. He was also the oldest president of the Fifth republic, leaving the job at the age of 78. History will judge how successful Mitterrand was; adulated by his supporters, he was much maligned by his political opponents; but for the second period of both his terms, he was obliged to appoint a Prime Minister from the conservative opposition (leading to a state of " cohabitation" (q.v.)), following mid-term rejections of his socialist administrations. He will perhaps be remembered as an indecisive president; from 1981 to 1983, he oversaw left-wing policies, including the nationalisation of some banks and other major companies; but from 1983 onwards, this policy went into reverse, and from then on state companies were progressively privatized. He did much to free France from the tight constrictions of the Gaullist state, abolishing the death penalty and removing state control of the media; but he was party to a notorious act of international piracy, the sinking of the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior in the harbour at Auckland, New Zealand, in which a Greenpeace activist was killed.Reelected in 1988, he pledged to follow a policy that was neither too left, nor too right. Known as the " ni-ni" policy ("neither nor" policy), this was frequently interpreted as being tantamount to no policy at all, and led to a crushing defeat for the Socialists in the 1993 general elections, as France's economic situation declined.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.

103 Zidane, Zinédine
Footballer, captain of the victorious French team in the 1998 world cup, staged in France. Zidane became something of a national hero after France's victories in the World Cup and the European cup that followed. Born into an immigrant family in a poor quarter of Marseille, Zidane, through his success and captaincy of the national squad, served as an ideal role model for France's hundreds of thousands of " beurs", and as a very visible rebuttal of the racist ideology of the Front National.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.

The fish is served separately from the broth, which is poured over garlic-rubbed toast, and seasoned with rouille which is stirred into the broth.
