...does not mean we are giving up our search for Madeleine," said Gerry McCann, moments after landing in the U.K. Sunday afternoon. "As parents, we cannot give up on our daughter until we know what has happened," he said, flanked by his wife and with son Sean fast asleep in his arms. To the suspicion of the couple's involvement, Madeleine's father was defiant. "Despite there being so much we wish to say, we are unable to do so, except to say this," he said, pausing as his voice buckled under the emotion: "we played no part...
...keep it up? As summer ends, the fast-moving "Sarko Show" has begun drawing criticism. Opponents complain that Sarkozy's sunny-day successes don't all bear up under scrutiny: was the Libyan triumph linked to troubling nuclear and military contracts?

Most Marines now deploy for seven months abroad and spend seven at home, instead of the traditional 14 months back. The Army too has dropped its customary 1-to-2 ratio and extended rotations to 15 months abroad and 12 at home...
