HERE’S THE POOP

Your Cannes correspondent Jack Mathews is wrong on two points (“Postcards From Le Edge,” May 14):

1-- France (not Cannes) is the dog-doo capital of the world! and

2--At least in Tours, they already have a pooper-scooper law. Only the law is that the city shall provide a uniformed officer, mounted on a motor scooter rigged with a doggy-doo vacuum , whose job it is to rid the sidewalks of this offense to the senses.

Having just returned from France with 15 rolls of glorious film, it is my greatest disappointment that I was unable to get my camera aimed in his direction before he disappeared into the sunset with a hearty “Hi-O, Rover!”
