...have two leaders who have many things in common, including their temperaments," says Charles Grant, director of the Centre for European Reform, a London-based think tank. He believes Sarkozy, Brown and German Chancellor Angela Merkel could create a new triumvirate of power at Europe's core. All three, he says, "are Atlanticist, economically liberal - more or less - and take a pragmatic rather than ideological approach to the European Union and its institutions...

In addition to putting out Neptunes records and Pharrell’s solo work, the hip hop-heavy company hosts the likes...
...Crimson columnist?” There are so many benefits to the position that I don’t even know where to begin. I relish the opportunity to use Harvard’s premier media outlet to express my strong opinions about controversial topics that affect the very core of our University and even the world at large, like how chicken parmigiana should be served more often than biweekly. I love the power to stimulate intellectual debate over some of the world’s most perplexing issues. It fills my heart with glee when I overhear students arguing...
