...just discovered the type of protests that have been used in places like the U.S. and Britain for years, that's partly true. It's also true that previous generations of French protesters have taken on single issues. But that has nearly always been as part of a mass movement. "Think of the feminists, the antiracism movement, the defenders of the needy - even the union demos that used to end by marchers helping themselves to whatever they found on supermarket shelves. All these things were earlier manifestations of what we're seeing with these collectives - only with much larger bases...
...ones Global Green is implementing, there are broader policy-based actions that seek to green New Orleans from the top down. The city is receiving millions in federal stimulus funds, some of which will be going toward initiatives that will re-establish a citywide recycling program and improve mass transit. About $1.1 million is being slated to help green five of the city's libraries, and more will pay for the installation of solar-powered, ultra-efficient LED streetlights. The Department of Energy - with funds matched by Global Green - is underwriting new solar-power projects in New Orleans as well...

"You know, he couldn't put all things together at that point - you'd finish some sentences for him in some ways," Kerry recalls, shifting his cane to stretch out his right leg. "But you knew what he was getting at. He was very tuned in to the boats that were sailing, that...
During Benedict's 2008 trip to the U.S., there was some heated debate - with conflicting photographs and eyewitness accounts - about whether Kennedy took Holy Communion at the papal Mass at Nationals Stadium in Washington, with conservatives insisting that the Pope says the rite should be denied to prochoice politicians. With this in mind, Church observers are keen to see if Boston's Archbishop Cardinal Sean O'Malley will preside over Kennedy's funeral.
