Jarrett, 52, is that kind of friend to the Obamas--she can tease and cry and in the next moment weigh in on policy matters. She has been called the dean of Barack's kitchen Cabinet, but her role has changed over their 17-year friendship: first as Michelle's boss at Chicago's city hall, later as finance chair for Barack's Senate campaign...
...jump the gun. Somewhere in a cabinet at Fox headquarters, there must be a bulging file of the premature obituaries written for it. Fox debuted in 1996 and quickly flourished in the Clinton era.

The result was a victorious surge by France's left-of-center parties, led by the previously floundering Socialists. Leftist wrenched 40 cities from conservative incumbents, including 30 with 20,000 or more inhabitants; rightists nabbed just six from outgoing leftist administrations. In Paris, incumbent Socialist mayor Betrand Delanoë added eight points to his razor-thin margin of victory...
