...Sarkozy has been in tough spots before. In 1995, he backed Edouard Balladur, not Chirac, for President, and had to work his way back into the good books - just about - of Chirac and his circle. In 1999, he led his party to a disastrous defeat in European parliamentary elections, and was again pitched into the political wilderness. Now, having reached the pinnacle of French politics, Sarkozy is perversely back at rock bottom. His approval rating has dropped from 64% in September to just 39% this month...

The thing about Bush that kept his people unified for the most part was the war, and what the Democrats were savaging him with, and trying to secure defeat, wrap it around his throat. That served to unify people who had disagreements with Bush on other things. Plus, Bush is a likable guy. Now we're still going to have a war and we're still going to have terrorist threats and so forth. But this is what I fear. I have...
...failed to join them as they had last year, and the women failed to reclaim their past glory. After going 2-1 in the first weekend of the Ivy Championships, the men continued at the same pace to finish third overall, falling to the Lions, 18-9, but defeating Brown, 21-6. The women also finished third, losing, 17-10 to Columbia and a nail-biter, 14-13, to the Bears, despite defeating Cornell, 17-10. The men were simply overmatched in the meet against the Lions, with the lone close call coming in a 5-4 foil defeat. Junior...
