9 new references in major newspapers 
I've added 9 new references from France's newspaper equivalences of the NY Times, the Le Figaro and Le Monde to the sandboxed version of the article.  It was strange that a scientist of Marcel Leroux' obvious stature, was not being written about and quoted in major newspapers in France.  His stature was apparent from the articles he was writing.  He was the scientist solicited to write articles on any unusual weather patterns affecting France and N. Africa.  It turns  out the major newspapers are paywalled and don't allow google searches.
