...renominate him and install Nicolas Sarkozy, the most ambitious figure on the French right, as Economics, Finance and Industry Minister. Except for Borloo, a politically unclassifiable figure with no standing in the ruling party, Chirac was largely content to reshuffle loyal followers. Dominique de Villepin moves to the Interior Ministry from foreign affairs, where he has been replaced by European Commissioner Michel Barnier. The very sameness in the Cabinet puts the incandescent Borloo center stage, but it could also hamper him. Sarkozy, burdened with a huge budget deficit, is unlikely to allow him the renewal projects that won him praise...
...some as the embodiment of an austere, decentralizing - and threatening - ideology. As Debré has noted, even conservatives believe that providing services and social protection is part of the state's responsibility to the public. Ironically, the only thing protecting Raffarin's job is the fact that high-profile Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy - whose record as a relentless crime fighter has made him the star of the government - is his only credible replacement.

Although it may lead to superior style and more urban tastes, metrosexuality is a dead-end on the road to rediscovering a healthy masculinity. We need this sense of male identity if we are going to survive in a future that relies increasingly less on those traits unique to our sex. If we don’t rediscover this healthy male identity...
...announcing the arrests, Interior Minister Angel Acebes said, "We're continuing to work on all fronts," referring to the possibility that the Basque terrorist group ETA may have been behind the attacks, "although these arrests open an important new avenue of investigation." It was a far cry from even earlier that day when the minister still considered ETA the prime suspect. Spanish and French authorities say the Moroccans may be linked to the synchronized suicide bombings that killed 33 people in Casablanca last May. Government sources in Morocco are more emphatic, telling TIME there was evidence that all three...
