French President Nicolas Sarkozy is proud of his reputation as a take-charge leader boasting an impressive string of international diplomatic coups to his bow. Indeed, his first three highly touted months in office owed most of their glow to his deft performance on the world stage - a shine that dimmed during the following three months spent largely at home. But by flying to Africa to personally bring home seven Europeans involved in the child kidnapping case that Chadian authorities have lodged against French charity group Zoe's Ark, Sarkozy may be on the receiving end of tough questions being...
...Jefferson as "an adorer of our God" and "a real Christian." They wooed disaffected Protestants, Catholics and Jews by contrasting their candidate's defense of religious pluralism with Adams' purported support for an evangelical establishment.

Franklin ’10 was there, wearing a Robin Hood costume. The green tights made his legs look even skinnier than usual, and the pointy hat accentuated his big ears. He was surrounded by blockmates...
...opera, evoked a sense of tragedy. Where Goto’s violin used to be light, melancholy began to weigh down on the instrument.In the third movement—Allegro spirituoso—Goto leaped back into his element, holding the audience on edge with every twist of the bow. He employed Paganini’s own invention, “ricochet” bowing (where the bow ricochets across the strings to produce swift and un-slurred notes), with the utmost effect, swimming through 20 notes in a matter of a few seconds. Then, violinist and orchestra merged together...
