...family mansion in Koganei, an airy suburban Tokyo neighborhood of delightful tree-lined streets. She is serenely happy and in love with her new husband, Kazuhito, and his tanned arms and adorable round ears. Her new extended family, moreover, loves her. They welcome and dazzle her with praise, and appear in many ways to be typical of large, conservative, close-knit, multigenerational families. They eat dinner and watch TV together. The men are breadwinners (Kazuhito and his father Takeo manage a rice mill); the able women (Noriko and Kazuhito's mother and sister and grandmother) cook and clean while babysitting...
...also allows suffering--undid his faith. Since then, as a religion professor and best-selling author (2005's Misquoting Jesus), he has knowledgeably subverted his old beliefs.

...Conservative legislators and mayoral candidates, however, pointed out that business owners most affected by the Attali report are historically stalwart UMP voters, and likely to join the rising tide of displeasure at the municipal polls next month. That and other challenges appear to have caused Sarkozy to blink at long last. On Wednesday, leaders of protesting taxi drivers were called to the Elysée and assured the deregulation plans had been shelved. And despite Sarkozy's avowal in December that state "coffers are empty," the presidency also announced new handouts for retirees receiving minimal pensions - a demographic pollsters count...
