...stimulus plan. That wasn't exactly a big success - the proposal was widely panned for relying too heavily on tax cuts - but Cantor is convinced that taking the long view is the path to success: health care and global warming may be the topics du jour, but "the narrative next year leading into the election, will be all about the economy. It'll be about jobs, it'll be about people's economic security," he insists, leaning back on the couch in his third-floor Capitol office. So the group has been looking at areas of the economy that they...
...businesses, the massive budget deficits and what Cantor calls an uncertain environment that Obama's ambitious agenda on health care, financial reform and climate change is creating for the business community. Cantor admits the group has yet to come up with any solutions, but they are meeting over the next few months to hear from experts and to hammer out concrete proposals. The method is similar to the process Pelosi went through in crafting her highly successful Six for '06 campaign that helped the Democrats retake control of the House, involving six core Democratic issues that she pledged to push...

Here the British Old Dispensary sits next to Portuguese cannons, a fort built by Omani Arabs, and the Victorian clock tower of the Beit al-Ajaib - the first building in Africa with running water, electricity and a lift...
...adding air-conditioning, an elevator and an underground parking lot has run into opposition from preservationists, who say the project would be disastrous. Opponents scored a temporary victory in September when a Paris court blocked the $60 million renovations until a final verdict can be reached - probably in the next few months. Whatever the outcome, critics say that the Culture Ministry's initial approval of the project points to a serious - and worrying - unraveling of France's system of architectural protections. "[This] raises doubts about the ability of our country to manage its own heritage," says Pierre Housieaux, president...
