...Michaël Sebban. "When he's confronted by anti-Semitism all he can do is affirm the republican values of equality and fraternity. But it's like pressing a button that doesn't work anymore." Especially in the socially underprivileged banlieues, where Jewish-Muslim tension is highest, the appeal to shared citizenship is more apt to reap mockery than reverence. "Being a citizen of France used to give everyone a kind of bulletproof vest, but now it's fallen off and we see each other as Jews, Arabs, whatever," Sebban says. Sebban tried Israel in the 1990s; he lasted...
...Jeremy Wariner, track's Eminem, running away with two golds. He's the first white sprinter to represent the U.S. in the 400 meters since 1964. Unlike Marshall, Wariner is not angry about his background. And while Larry Bird says basketball needs more white superstars to broaden its appeal, Wariner won't carry that unseemly mantle for his sport. "I really don't listen to any of that racial stuff," says Wariner, 20, who just finished his sophomore year at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. "If you've got speed, it really shouldn't matter."

...century, Citroën's 2CV - better known as deux chevaux (two horses), a reference to its underpowered engine - was hugely popular with farmers and urban bohemians because of its cheap price and trouble-free engine.

The car has long been popular with visitors to France, and now Florent Dargnies, a 24-year-old entrepreneur, has started a touring company that...
...make eating less more interesting? By serving menu items in unusual increments. Looking to appeal to diet-conscious diners, restaurants are jumping on the new trend. In New York City, at Pinch, pizza is sold not by the slice but by the inch, while the restaurant Cru provides wine by the half glass. And the Post House offers spoonfuls of strawberry shortcake and banana-cream pie for people who want a lighter dessert after a steak-house-size meal. At the Meritage restaurant in the Boston Harbor Hotel, guests can order just a spoonful of entrees like flash-fried Nantucket...
Only an idiot would spend $1,500 for a purse. I fail to see the appeal of these products. They are not attractive, practical or economical. The only selling point is that expensive designer bags are covered with the maker's logo. But that just serves to declare to the world that the owner has no self-confidence and no sense of aesthetics or economics. DEBBIE FIELDS Las Vegas
