Ar.alysis of Bi-cultural Problems

_ [Article by Lucien Rioux] '
[Text] Following the elections, Flemish and Wallons must
choose between compromise and their country's breakdown.
From now on should people talk about Belgium as a thing of the ~ast? On Monday,
the day this copy of the NOWII, OBSERVATEUR re~ches the newstands in Brussels,
Delgians will Imow the composition of their new parliament. They will have
