...calling the residents "scum," as France's Interior Minister Nicholas Sarkozy did [Nov. 21]? That should be political suicide, but Sarkozy got away with it. As a French citizen of South Asian origin, I would say that callousness represents the state of affairs in mainstream French society. Unlike the Anglo-Saxons, who have a penchant for politeness, the French have no inhibitions about crudely stating their reaction to events, no matter how offensive their comments might be. Attitude is only one of the problems in France. The country needs to get rid of its outmoded approach to race, immigration...

Two years ago, Santa Fe struck again. It passed a municipal living wage of $8.50, the highest in the country. With a seven to one vote by the City Council, one in six Santa Feans got a raise. It was a good day. Since Harvard started paying its workers...
...Republic. At present unemployment has reached nearly 12 percent of the workforce, or five million people. The CDU offered up a new candidate with a project of painful-but-healthy reform.
