FILES-RETRO-MAY 1968-COHN-BENDIT
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY EMMA CHARLTON --- (FILES) Daniel Cohn-Bendit (6th R, seated), leader of the Sorbonne occupation listens as an unidentified man addresses a crowd on June 2, 1968 in Paris. Four decades on, France is still torn over the legacy of May 1968, a month which month saw students set up barricades to demand a say in a stifling post-war society, soon joined by downtrodden factory workers and their artist brothers-in-arms. Together, they ground the country to a halt, nearly bringing down the government. Protestors promptly occupied La Sorbonne led by Cohn-Bendit, the hallowed university in Paris' Latin Quarter, building barricades and ripping cobblestones from city streets to combat riot police.
