Dr. Harold Symes, the scientist who designed the system's artificial intelligence, has disappeared, leaving a calendar containing enigmatic "TM" notations.

And the system's satellites are under attack from Russian, Chinese, and Iranian hackers and antisatellite weapons.

"La Pologne a-t-elle son art ? L¿eut-elle dans les siècles passés ?La première partie du problème ne laisse pas de place au doute, ni ne donne lieu à la contradiction : des centaines d¿artistes polonais se chargent de manifester la chose par le nombre et la valeur de leurs ¿uvres à la marque personnelle et spécifique, à l¿accent bien original et au goût de terroir. On en voit partout, dans tous les Palais des Expositions, dans tous les Salons de peinture. Il en est, signées de noms à la sonorité mondiale, dans les musées de France, d¿Espagne, d¿Italie, d¿Allemagne.La deuxième question paraît plus complexe et d¿une solution plus malaisée, d¿une évidence moins frappante. Cependant, là encore ¿ sous quelques réserves d¿un ordre général et quelques-unes pour le cas particulier qui nous occupe ¿ la réponse sera catégoriquement affirmative.Oui, la Pologne a eu son art de tout temps, malgré de nombreuses immixtions, admixtions, et malgré les mélanges qui venaient du dehors ajouter à sa propre saveur. Fort souvent, l¿étranger y greffait son génie sur le génie autochtone et tantôt rénovait ou raçait la production nationale, tantôt l¿altérait fâcheusement."

"Le commencement de tout ce que je vais raconter, ce fut une écriture inconnue sur une enveloppe. Il y avait dans ces traits de plume qui traçaient mon nom et l¿adresse de la Revue des Fossiles, à laquelle je collaborais et d¿où l¿on m¿avait fait suivre la lettre, un mélange tournant de violence et de douceur. Derrière les questions que je me formulais sur l¿expéditeur et le contenu possibles du message, un vague mais puissant pressentiment m¿évoquait l¿image du « pavé dans la mare aux grenouilles ». Et du fond l¿aveu montait comme une bulle que ma vie était devenue bien stagnante, ces derniers temps. Aussi, quand j¿ouvris la lettre, je n¿aurais su distinguer si elle me faisait l¿effet d¿une vivifiante bouffée d¿air frais ou d¿un désagréable courant d¿air."

Une étude nouvelle sur La Diplomatie Française au temps de Louis XIV ne semblait pas s¿imposer après les travaux de l¿École historique française, de Mignet, de Legrelle, d¿Émile Bourgeois, de Pagès et de tant d¿autres, auxquels il faut joindre les publications faites à l¿étranger ; elle n¿aurait point de particulière raison d¿être, si le sous-titre que nous avons cru devoir lui donner, Institutions, m¿urs et coutumes, n¿indiquait l¿orientation spéciale de nos recherches et l¿idée générale qui les a guidées.Il nous a paru que nos maîtres et devanciers avaient surtout cherché, les uns à retracer lesgrandes lignes de la politique française au XVIIe siècle, les autres à mettre en lumière certaines périodes mal éclaircies, certains compartiments pour lesquels le dépouillement des textes avait été insuffisant. Quant à la diplomatie de Louis XIV, analysée comme institution, dans ses rapports avec les traditions et les coutumes anciennes, tels que les suit ou les contrecarre l¿usage de l¿Europe de ce temps, elle n¿a point fait l¿objet à notre connaissance de travail d¿ensemble,mais seulement d¿articles fragmentaires 1. Les grandes histoires de France, comme aussi les manuels techniques, décrivent les institutions politiques, administratives, militaires, mais passent sous silence les institutions diplomatiques. Pourtant un nom doit être rappelé au début de cet essai, celui d¿Albert Sorel. C¿est un prélude admirable à L¿Europe et la Révolution française que l¿exposé largement esquissé des m¿urs politiques de l¿Europe sous l¿ancien régime. Grande fresqueun peu rapide, dans laquelle le XVIIe siècle français n¿occupe que quelques pages ! Beaucoup plus restreint et beaucoup plus précis est le sujet que nous nous sommes proposé. Il nécessite l¿examen d¿un certain nombre de problèmes que Sorel n¿a pu qüeffleurer.
