...Exit this way Why have so many headed for the big door marked Sortie? France's gummed-up labor market is a key reason. Youth unemployment of 22% is easily one of the highest in Europe, both east and west, and it's not just school leavers with few or no qualifications who can't land a job. More than 7% of French university graduates in their late 20s are unemployed - one of the worst records in the European Union and about 50% higher than the E.U. average.

...hard to worry too much about India's early exit in light of the other big news from the cup: the murder of Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer. But in India, where people have been eagerly anticipating this event since, well, since the last one ended four years ago, the poor performance has been cause for despair even - or perhaps especially - amongst those for whom despair has become a way of life. So far, save a few demonstrators holding up signs calling on the coach Greg Chappell or the captain Rahul Dravid to resign, and a few cases where pictures...
