The face-to-face talks between the outgoing (and re-elected) president and Jospin
There is no idea of any confrontation intended, I believe. Nor do I believe there was in their meeting at the Elysee Palace yesterday.

The face-off between the current presidential incumbent and Jospin
Face-to-face is too gentle and complicite. This situation is more like the beginning of a match, like the bully-off in hockey. They meant business and they weren't being nice to each other!
