...Christian Clavier. The protest, which sought to highlight the "colonization" of the island by wealthy French mainlanders, was clearly also designed to embarrass Sarkozy by targeting his film star buddy's sumptuous vacation abode.

On the first night of bombing, Ivanovic and her family hid in a cellar. "But we had the windows glued, you know," she says, "so they wouldn't go into little pieces." While she was spending time with her grandparents, a bomb exploded less than a mile from their apartment...
