...visible for the first time. "It's a younger silhouette," said Frank Adler, who designed the new uniform for Balmain. Noted one policeman: "It's more practical. But the most important change is that we can reach our gun much more quickly." Some older members of the force, however, lament the passing of a national symbol. "For most people, the image of the French policeman is the kepi," said the curator of the police museum at the Paris Prefecture. "Now all that has disappeared...
...benefit they play My Sweet Little Terrorist Song, a sly lament about Iran's inclusion in President George W. Bush's "axis of evil": "I just wanna watch Dylan live./ I won't fly into the Pentagon alive."

Angry and resentful, people are blaming the one institution that not only grows richer every time there is an oil squeeze, but is as close at hand as the nearest service station: the $360 billion-a-year U.S. oil industry ... All around the U.S., the lament is the same: in ways both devious and sinister, and too mystifying to understand, Big Oil is somehow out to rip off the public.
