...been compiling the game's records, arbitrating its controversies, and naming its greats since it was first published by John Wisden, an accomplished English cricketer, in 1864. But over the past few years - especially under the stewardship of New Zealand writer Graeme Wright and its current editor, British newspaper journalist Matthew Engel - the Almanack has been updated for the 21st century. A photograph now graces the front cover, replacing the old wood engraving of two Victorian gents in top hats playing cricket, which had appeared on the cover since 1938.

Marc Tessier, president of France Télévisions, which runs France 2, denied reports that he'd retracted the invitation at the government's request, saying he merely wanted to "avoid polemics." But Yves Loiseau, a France 2 journalist who represents employees on France Télévisions' supervisory board, accuses Tessier of "changing political guests to comply with the powers that be." Says Loiseau: "Maybe he represents the major stakeholder, but that doesn't give him the right to meddle." Barroso accepted the official explanation...
