   Cher Rodham,

   Le second article (Art. 33.3) s'applique, comme le premier, aux noms p=
ublies a partir du 1er janvier 1953, donc aussi aux auteurs actuels. Au s=
urplus, les exemples donnes concernent des publication faites en 1969, 19=
70 et 1980 respectivement.

   Amicalement,

   Jacques Melot, Reykjavik
