...Brady also warned against Sarkozy's following his presidential predecessors' tradition of nakedly pushing French national interests in Europe's name. "The E.U. presidency is about achieving consensus. It's about being an honest broker, not a bulldozer," Brady said. He warned that Sarkozy's penchant for glitz and spontaneous policy announcements could be jarring in the more cautious E.U. settings. "Sarkozy has admirable energy, but he does not have diplomatic skill," he said. "At a time of fraught nerves, Europe needs someone to reassure, and I'm not sure Sarkozy is that...

The right choice can add balance to a nominee whose roots may seem a tad too effete to go over well in the heartland - or add some coastal glitz to a rural candidate's prairie-flat steadiness.

Senator Obama claims to be a fresh face in the political arena, but rip away the glamour and the glitz, and you’ll find he’s nothing more than a big-government liberal. Brian J. Bolduc ‘10, a Crimson editorial editor, is an economics concentrator in Winthrop House...
...songs, the nonstop snazz and of course the bawdry - or, as she puts it, "hits, glitz and tremendous tits." Innuendo goes out the window when Miss M. comes to town. The clerk at the ticket desk offers the friendly warning that this is "adult entertainment," and inside you'll hear Midler caution the crowd, "Please don't call the Pope if you see a tit or two." You won't have to phone Rome; skinwise, the show is pretty chaste. Bette relies on one of her longtime characters - Soph (for Sophie Tucker), the oldest babe in show business - to supply...
