...controversy over Bruni's extra-Elyeesian endeavours - and the conflicting critical appreciation of her CD - was a virtual certainty, given the passions husband Nicolas Sarkozy has unleashed with his reformist drive, polarizing style and long-established exploitation of his private life as part of his public relations mix. Reaction has therefore tended to fall predictably according to political affiliation...
...Though we haven't seen her in the flesh since her arrest, it is in many ways Knox's flesh that continues to drive steady interest, particularly from the Italian and British media.

It's used in our phones and our computers, the cars we drive and the planes we ride in. But the infinitely adaptable substance has its dark side. Environmentalists fret about the petroleum needed to make it. Parents worry about the possibility of toxic chemicals making their way from household plastic into children's bloodstreams. Which means Haegele isn't the only person trying...
