...bewildering sight: after a year of slugging each other over Iraq, here come Europe's Big Three leaders, bloodied, bandaged, limping - and leaning on each other for support. Tony Blair, Jacques Chirac and Gerhard Schröder meet this week in Berlin, but despite the obligatory grins and displays of solidarity, the Three Amigos they are not. Not long ago Blair was warning publicly that Chirac was trying to drag Europe down a dead end of reflexive opposition to the U.S. in pursuit of a moldy Gaullist dream of French glory - and complaining privately that Chirac...
...state pensions, low productivity, slow growth, high unemployment - this week's summit will intrude upon sensitive territory for the smaller states. The Gang of Three will endorse a joint paper on these topics they can present to other E.U. leaders in March. One diplomat in Berlin says Schröder particularly wants his domestic reform package to get a Blair seal of approval this week, to help him sell it at home.

Ryan Murphy attempted to flick the puck back to a teammate, but BU’s David van der Gulik was there to intercept and prepared to clear the puck from the zone and end the threat with just 29 seconds left on the power play...
...could scarcely believe their luck last week when the police and courts allowed the Daily News, the country's only independent daily newspaper, to publish for the first time in four months. It was the same day South African President Thabo Mbeki told visiting German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder that Robert Mugabe's ZANU-PF government would resume talks with the embattled opposition. "I am quite certain they will negotiate and will find an agreement. We will work with them," Mbeki said. But it was too good to be true. Harare quickly asked the courts to silence the Daily...
