...rare respite from the political failures that have plagued his final years in office. Chirac himself decided in 1999 to award the museum project to Nouvel, a Socialist voter who had been an outspoken critic of Chirac's urban policies. It was a felicitous choice: Stéphane Martin, the museum's president, who has worked closely with Nouvel since then, says, "We have never gotten mad at one another, which in the French tradition of such collaborations is remarkable." To some degree, that must be due to the immense role granted to Nouvel, not simply for the building...
...across Britain and a giant duel-sited rock festival, Carling is in the right place at the right time.

James Martin, an editor at the Jesuit weekly America who also celebrates weekly Mass at a Manhattan church, "When do you say to someone, ?I hope your spirit has a nice day today?'" He adds, "It just doesn't translate...
Listen to Martin Dawson, 22, who will be a senior this fall at Fordham University in New York: "The Republican Party is becoming what it criticized in 1994--the party of Washington power, the party of Big Government, Big Spending and Big Business." Even those who support the party and the President sound like outsiders. Says Alexa Moutevelis, a 20-year-old Washington and Lee University student who has Bush stickers on her car: "I'm a conservative because I'm antiestablishment." Ohio University senior Clayton Henson, 22, uses similar language: "The left controls the campus ... They are the establishment...
