...Sarko l'Americain was a term promoted by Sarkozy's communications team and fed to the French media, knowing that the Bush Administration had portrayed Chirac as the anti-Christ, and that by simply appearing friendly and cooperative, Sarkozy could restore friendly ties with Washington. Also aware that the unpopular U.S. President could really use a pal and admirer in a place that his Administration had least come to expect one - the Elysée Palace - Sarkozy has stressed the positive and pointed out all the ways France and the U.S. can work together.

Graham first met the younger Bush in 1985, when the two men took a fateful walk on the beach in Maine that helped set the then 40-year-old Texas oilman on a path that led him to Christ.

That ruling led many priests to remove beautiful sculptures of the Virgin Mary and other saints from display. Some were sold, often to raise money for a parish, and a whole new market was created...
...many of the myths attending the secretive order have less to do with their financial empire than with their most famous piece of real estate. Who knew what wonders they might have unearthed digging beneath the Mosque to the alleged Temple of Solomon, not far from where Christ was crucified? They claimed to own a piece of the True Cross; they may very well have possessed the Shroud of Turin, since it was a Templar descendant's family that first made it public; and unsubstantiated rumor has put them in possession of both the Ark of the Covenant...
