Which means that the more salient question might actually be: Who is Nicolas Sarkozy? The answer depends on when you study him. Is he the man elected President in May 2007, who immediately set out to lower income taxes, scrap France's 35-hour workweek, revoke special retirement privileges for public-transport workers, and harangue employees to "work more to earn more"? Or is he the leader who in the past year has slapped down greedy bankers, fumed at U.S. and British resistance to French plans for strict new regulations of the global finance sector, and preached the gospel...
...extrapolating too much from the study. Coates' own measurements of testosterone levels in the saliva of male traders found a link between higher levels of the hormone and risky behavior. He says there is a "dose-response curve" for testosterone, which means that a small dose of the hormone might result in an opposite behavioral change from a very large dose. "It's entirely possible that at low levels of testosterone you could have higher cooperation but at higher levels you could witness the opposite effect," Coates says...

In the past, the networks needed Woods way more than he needed them. Now Tiger can use all the help...

What was the point? Now, what if he never comes back? That's the longest of long shots, of course. But at this point, would anything in this story surprise...
...hard to consider those grisly findings and not wonder whether the Chilean right might still be capable of such reactionary cruelty if it ever came to power again. Chile, in fact, stands at that very crossroads this weekend. On the eve of Sunday's presidential election, conservative billionaire Sebastian Piñera leads the liberal candidate, former President Eduaro Frei Ruiz - Frei Montalva's son - by at least 10 points in most polls. Chile's incumbent left hopes the Jara and Frei Montalva cases give voters pause. But the exhumations underscore how important it is that the right, after almost...
