All three of the nation's newsweeklies hit kiosks with critical Sarkozy-focused cover stories. The cover line on L'Express is "The Disappointment"; Le Point details "What's Going Wrong" and the Nouvel Observateur calls him "The President Who Went Pffffftt." And that wasn't the only suggestion Sarko's presidency is deflating. New polls confirm the precipitous drop in Sarkozy's approval rating, from his near-record...
