...education and host a forum at the Institute of Politics next Thursday on French economic reform. Royal’s views on the state of the French Left will be especially important considering the current chaos within the Socialist Party. “The Left in France is in disarray and I think many are anxious to hear what her strategy for that is, where she envisions the French left in terms of its policies and how she can get the party there,” Craig said. In addition to existing party divisions, Royal’s intention...
...first female elected leader of a Muslim nation, Bhutto has been eulogized by the international media as a saintly figure who was Pakistan’s greatest hope. Yet while there is no question that her death was an unfortunate event that has thrown Pakistan into disarray, Bhutto was not the panacea that many remember her as or wanted her to be.

Every conversation between the two sisters is ripe with tension, which spills over into the Leigh’s engagement, Kidman’s marriage, and the more central relationship between Kidman and Pais. The inevitable catharsis plays out against an idyllic autumn backdrop on the North...
...main drags. Other cities employ moto-medics--London, Kuala Lumpur and Miami, among them--but in Brazil the program holds special significance since there is no centralized 911 and firefighters have become the go-to guys when accidents occur, perhaps because the country's health service is in disarray and the police are among the nation's least esteemed public servants. "People trust us," says fire department spokesman Lieut. Marcos Palumbo. "We always respond to emergencies." Quickly too. The day I follow them, the medics arrive at the scene of an accident in three minutes, three times faster than...
