...ideas. In recent weeks she has advocated a much tougher line on young delinquents. She wants to yank troublesome kids from middle school classes and put them in reform schools; withhold state family allowances from dysfunctional families until they take parenting classes, and even send teenage miscreants to military boot camp. Socialist voters, mindful of the youthful rampages last fall in the poor outlying housing projects and this spring at universities, approve of her tough-love approach by a resounding 69%, according to a poll commissioned by the newspaper Le Figaro...
...Speaking of Microsoft, the MacBook gave me an excellent opportunity to try out Boot Camp - that's the installation of Windows XP as a second operating system, in case you hadn't heard. On startup, I can choose the Mac OS or Windows, and everything I tried in the latter environment worked as well as it could have.

But it's a movable raw-food feast, with two additional weeks planned in Cornwall, England, this year, and in 2007, for the first time, a long-haul retreat...
Adidas has drawn the battle lines; now it's up to the consumers to decide. Not that the companies will quiet the trash talk. For example, Adidas puts the boot to Nike's worldwide youth "futsal" tournament, which features the smaller soccer ball that many great players, like Ronaldinho, grew up dribbling. "It's three on three in a cage," says Filbry. "That's not soccer." Edwards, Nike's marketing guru, guffaws. "I'm happy they would dismiss something that millions of people around the world are playing," he says. On the eve of the World Cup, jawing between...
