...accomodate this obnoxious expense situation, the smoked turkey club sandwich with fries seemed like an appealing option. The Thursday Chef's Special, London Broil with mushroom sauce, was tempting but would probably lead to a longer, less efficient lunch. And Harvard students can't be bothered to wait for their food. After ordering the former, service took 13 minutes to deliver, which is just enough time to skim over those lecture notes or memorize a few foreign language vocabulary words...
...decidedly unsympathetic to Penn's situation. Fumes one: "He should have to eat it." But it isn't that simple. The money is owed not to Penn personally but to his company, which is a subsidiary of the worldwide public relations and advertising firm WPP Group, based in London. The bills the Clinton campaign ran up included $5 million for the polling that apparently failed to pick up on the public mood. And then there was the cost of sending out 20 million pieces of direct mail, with postage alone reaching $8 million, according to an official for the firm...
Abroad, Sarkozy upended Chirac's policies by trading in the traditional Franco-German partnership for closer ties to London. He also reached out to the internationally loathed and isolated George W.

...irritating it must have been for Sarkozy to read French press reports last month that revealed Bush's successor Obama had written a private letter to Chirac ahead of the London G-20 summit. In it, Obama tells Chirac he anticipates their chances to "collaborate together in a spirit of peace and friendship in order to build a safer world." Most French pundits interpret the letter as Obama giving Chirac credit for correctly opposing the Iraq war as a looming strategic and diplomatic calamity - a position Obama shared. According to French press reports, Sarkozy was livid at seeing the star...
British-born, Ganley retains a London accent despite having lived in Ireland for 27 years. He talks fondly of his 97-year-old Irish grandmother who moved to Scotland to pick potatoes. Ganley created Libertas to campaign against the E.U.'s Lisbon Treaty - a so-far failed attempt to get countries to sign up to a re-write of a European Constitution - in Ireland's referendum last June. He is credited - or blamed - for the 'no' vote, and the subsequent institutional turmoil that continues to haunt...
