...getting those same companies to reinvest gains made from outsourcing to create new jobs in research, hi-tech and skilled services back home." It all just reinforces the impression among critics that Sarkozy cares more about publicity than policy. "Politically, it was a smart move," says French political commentator Alain Duhamel. "Preventing job loss through outsourcing will require careful planning and growth co-ordination on a European level. Sarkozy can't wait for that, so he addressed concerns now, as best he could, and reinforced his reputation as someone who inspires confidence." Yet Sarkozy doesn't always opt for crowd...
...people at a time, but the authorities are very tolerant," Gallagher says. "The police come by and smile. They know we'll leave the place cleaner than it was before." And for those who desire designer food for their picnic, there's no shortage of options. Renowned chef Alain Ducasse's bakery and gourmet food shop be (boulangerie-épicerie) makes a mouthwatering gourmet picnic box featuring vitello tonnato (cold, thinly sliced veal with fresh tuna and sauce on toasted bread), Mediterranean pasta salad, salt-and-pepper potato chips and a chocolate lollipop.

"It used to be hard to talk about a single Jewish community in France, but now there is a community of concern, and lots of discussion about emigration." Alain Elbeze isn't a man to run scared. He says he went to prison at the age of 20 for mixing it up with neo-Nazis, and he keeps a poing americain (brass knuckles) handy when he's on the move. But he sees no point in keeping up the struggle...
...granting outposts to chefs such as Emeril Lagasse, Thomas Keller, Alain Ducasse, Charlie Palmer, Wolfgang Puck and Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Vegas dining has become so high-end it employs more master sommeliers than any other U.S. city. The hotels only get more and more extravagant and opulent. One of the must-have features is a posh spa: every Strip hotel has one, such as the 69,000-sq.-ft. Canyon Ranch SpaClub at the Venetian, which has a two-story rock-climbing wall. Luxury designer shops, from Louis Vuitton and Gucci to Armani and Dior, are so common that they...
