...humbling of Bossi prompted audible exhalations of relief across Europe, but the center-left parties and governments that currently dominate the E.U. remained on their guard. France's Socialist Foreign Minister Hubert Védrine warned that his government would be "attentive and, if necessary, vigilant" toward the new Italian administration, while Prime Minister Lionel Jospin pointedly refrained from making any declaration at all. German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, a Social Democrat, issued a notably cool statement, saying his government "took note" of the Italian results and "respected the decision" of the voters. Britain's center-left Prime Minister...
...left, I hoped the championships would start rolling in. Instead, the Knicks only found new ways to lose. One year, fan favorite John Starks would inexplicably go 2-for-18 in Game 7 of the Finals, and Pat Riley would refuse to take him out in favor of sharpshooter Hubert Davis. Another year, Reggie Miller would score eight points in 18 seconds to steal an early lead from the Knicks-the series ended when Ewing missed a game-winning layup from two feet away.

...point, right? If Duke could lose to UConn in 1999 despite being 15 point favorites, no sane person can predict with little more than a hunch who will be dancing on the Hubert Humphrey Metrodome court three Monday nights from...
...then, is this Rock of Gibraltar of world order showing so much wear of late? Every day it seems the headlines reveal another nasty fissure. When the U.S. and Britain bombed Iraq two weeks ago, they didn't even inform France or Germany in advance. The French Foreign Minister, Hubert Védrine, denounced the raid last week as having "no legal basis"-so much for solidarity. European leaders are deeply anxious about Washington's plans to build a limited missile shield, but the Bush Administration has said bluntly that while it's willing to talk over the details...
