More than three decades have passed since Kouchner first railed to the world about the human costs of conflict in Africa. In 1971, while working as a young relief doctor in war-torn Biafra, he co-founded Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) or Doctors Without Borders, which would go on to win the Nobel Peace Prize. At the age of 67, Kouchner is still railing, but with a big difference: he is now the Foreign Minister of France, a post from which he could recast the country's approach to international relations, not least by potentially reviving...
...Lebanon, an "honest broker" role for France between the U.S. and Iran, and some relief for Africa's refugees. At the time, he was also preparing for his first big initiative as Foreign Minister: a mini-summit in late June on the more than four years of armed conflict and massacres in Darfur, which have killed up to 200,000 people and left more than 2 million homeless.

Instead of shying away from the appearance of conflict, Steyn positively revels in it. "Yesterday I was chit-chatting with Lord Black on the other side of the Chicago River far from the courthouse," began his Maclean's blog on June 8, reminding readers that his access to Black goes beyond the courthouse steps. In an e-mail interview with TIME, Whyte pointed out that Maclean's has published "stories and commentaries in addition...
...Palestinian national unity government. As the optimists now see it, the Sharm el-Sheikh summit on Monday has united Israel, Jordan, Egypt and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas against Hamas (and its Iranian backer), all in a determination to forge ahead toward a final settlement of the 59-year-old conflict...
