...September as the mayoral candidate of the ruling Union for a Popular Majority (UMP) party, Martinon may have imagined himself a shoo-in. But even during that announcement, he was heckled by a group of angry conservative voters chanting "Marti-non! Non! Non!" The reason for the local resistance? Anger over having Martinon - a longtime Sarkozy adviser and current presidential spokesman - be handed the nomination many locals believe should go to outgoing deputy mayor, Arnaud Teullé. Teullé and other local UMP officials soon accepted Martinon's being parachuted into the safe seat by the national party, but they...
...threat that voters will use the nationwide municipal poll to rebuke their President. Should that happen, candidates considered Sarkozy intimates - including Justice Minister Rachida Dati, and Secretary of State for Human Rights Rama Yade - are at risk. But perhaps no one loomed larger as a target for anti-Sarkozy anger than Martinon.

Walter Mondale gave a man he resented, Gary Hart, a good...
...millions of Chinese workers, the two-week Lunar New Year festival offers the year's only opportunity to visit their families. After some initial hesitation, the ruling Communist Party's leadership moved quickly to contain any anger sparked by travel chaos, launching a nationwide mobilization dubbed the "war on snow havoc." Premier Wen Jiabao made three trips in a week to areas hard hit by the storms, apologizing to stranded travelers, consoling families of workers killed clearing power lines, and visiting residents of towns that had been without power for more than 10 days. "This is very important, to allow...
