...policies. "The big difference between us and the '68 generation is that we don't feel any real revolutionary drive," says Böttcher. "We feel an affinity with the economic system more than a need to demonstrate against it." First-time voters in last month's elections ranked "labor-market policy" as the key factor that would determine their support. Social justice trailed well behind, and environmental policy was ranked next to last, registering with just 8%. "Young Germans tend to let their belly decide who they vote for," says Stefanie Wahl of the Bonn-based think tank...
...signal for change." The biggest winner from the generational shift may be the fdp. A party that once relied on support from middle-aged voters increasingly appeals to the young. In the election, the fdp's youthful leadership stressed a simple campaign message that called for radical labor-market and tax reform.

Mikhalkov's father Sergei established the family fortune by writing chilling verse about enemies of the people at the height of the Stalinist purges. And he composed the words to his country's national anthem--three times. In 1944 he hailed the "Great Lenin" and Stalin. In 1977 he wrote...
With these tricks of the trade in mind, Harvard women can seamlessly transition from a labor-intensive life of study shrouded in ill-fitting pants to a labor-intensive life of study shrouded in nicely tailored pants. Together, we can stop ourselves from making horrible mistakes like white pumps, and start to conquer that ineffable feminist quandary of having it all, i.e. being half decent-looking and still attending Harvard...
