The bedrock concept of \"innocent until proven guilty\" is reversed for French journalists in libel cases; they enter courtrooms presumed guilty. Royal holdovers live on: Louis XIV'S system of indirect control through revocable favors persists in the form of state financial aid to the press. The weekly Le Canard Enchaîné is a journalistic court jester that plays the same role as the fops at Versailles, telling truth to power in joke form on topics that \"serious\" journals avoid. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Also introduced: \"surplus freedom\" a novel approach for gauging self-censorship by comparing the degree of free expression a legal system permits to what publications actually exercise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles R.
