...says Dollé immediately ruled out a deal. "He gave several reasons why he wasn't interested," he told Time. "I told him I'd get in touch again, and called a few days later to say there was an urgent need to meet." The men never did re-establish contact and on Jan. 26 - less than two weeks later - Mittal called Dollé on his mobile phone at Frankfurt airport while he was checking in for a flight to Toronto. The message: Rotterdam-based Mittal Steel would be announcing the following day a formal $22.6 billion takeover...
...will die-hard followers think it measures up? Actor Jugnot admits some critics already question the wisdom of "trying to revisit popular movies the public views as national references," but says the participants aren't looking for glory. After the original movies, most cast members went on to establish successful careers, including Jugnot himself (who starred in and co-produced The Chorus, nominated for a Best Foreign Language Film Oscar in 2005). Christian Clavier co-wrote and starred in The Visitors, Josiane Balasko's many triumphs include 1989's Too Beautiful For You, comic star Thierry Lhermitte appeared...
...current climate, 5-4 decisions establish binding precedents—precedents that may then be reversed if one swing justice leaves the bench.

By lowering the likelihood that one new justice would cause the court to reverse its precedents...
...families with recruiting-age children. A more thorough deconstruction is needed however, not just of the Heritage study but of whether the United States military reflects a just distribution of the shared responsibility for national defense. For example, instead of looking at averages or medians, one could seek to establish whether there is a relatively strong or weak correlation between family income and the likeliness of a child to enlist in the military. If, as one might suspect, the likeliness of a child enlisting in the military decreases as their family’s income increases, a case...
...Hamas must recognize the state of Israel and its right to exist. While we understand that this recognition would be directly opposed to one of Hamas’ fundamental goals and would thus be a difficult step to enact, it is nonetheless a necessary measure if Hamas hopes to establish itself as a political entity eligible for the aid contributions it currently receives.This rejection of terrorism will necessarily require that Hamas modify its charter, which explicitly rejects peaceful solutions and calls for Israel’s destruction. These changes cannot be only in word but must also be in deed...
