...Democratic Union (CDU) and its Bavarian ally, the Christian Social Union (CSU), are seen as the lesser of evils. Why can't opposition parties get any traction? Call it the revenge of the Third Way. Back in the late 1990s, leaders like Blair and German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder sold a pragmatic blend of fiscal realism and social justice, dubbed the Third Way. Outdated ideological divisions between right and left were dead, they declared, and a new kind of practical, effective politics would take their place.

...Crimson turned in several great performances this weekend, highlighted by Lingman’s run to the semifinals of the Singles Flight A tournament. He lost 6-1, 0-6, 6-4 to the eventual champion, Old Dominion’s Izak van der Merwe...

"We all want to see a stable Iraq," said Blair...
...easy, but a united Europe would have an even harder time getting both things done. Even so, an eerie sense of déjà vu marks the aftermath of the Berlin Summit. With a new wave of anti-French anger rising in the U.S., Chirac and Schröder are preparing for private meetings in New York this week with George W. Bush. Reports from Washington suggest that the Bush Administration still hopes to bust up the Franco-German entente by pulling the Germans aboard and isolating the French. But analysts in both countries say that may be beyond...
