...Amara wasn't the only leftist cabinet member to take a swipe at the controversial legislation. High Commissioner for Social Solidarity Martin Hirsch also decried an article in the law banning illegal aliens from emergency homeless shelters. In contrast to Amara's emotional denunciation of the law, Hirsch said he remained confident of convincing parliamentarians to amend the text during its final reading in parliament...
...pair's chiming out has turned heads nevertheless. Amara was recruited for her widely applauded struggle to defend the rights of women, immigrants and residents of France's blighted housing projects as the head of the group "Ni Putes, Ni Soumises" (Neither Whores Nor Submissive).

We got a good read on [the Hartford] setter.”Trimble led the Crimson attack with 13 kills on 23 attempts, and sophomore libero Katherine...
...about what you'd expect of a nice middle-class boy, who may have read his Thoreau, but who neglected to cultivate a Ralph Waldo Emerson he could count on for a warm bath and square meal when he really needed them. And despite the best efforts of Emile Hirsch, there's something annoying about him, too. He's too secure in his self-righteousness, too smug in his conviction that his is the only viable path to self-fulfillment. A lot of the dropouts he encounters on his way offer less radical alternatives to a life within the system...
