...understand something of Middle England. Defined by attitude, not geographical location, the country's heartland is inhabited by small-c conservatives and big-E Euroskeptics, people unsettled by rapid social change and radical ideas. Such voters, historically decisive in U.K. polls, tend to view liberals and urban sophisticates with deep suspicion, and might be expected to react to the profoundly liberal, unambiguously sophisticated Clegg with all the enthusiasm of vampires invited to dunk their French fries in aioli...

After their meeting, the head of the German Bishops' Conference said he'd briefed the Pope on the situation in Germany. "With great shock, keen interest and deep sadness, the Holy Father took note of what I had to say," Zollitsch told reporters. The Archbishop said the Pope had encouraged German bishops to proceed with "determination and courage" in investigating the allegations of abuse, and added that church leaders in Germany would intensify preventive measures in schools and local...
