...need to sustain the scene is clearly on the mind of the MC at JK7 as the mosh pit swells for the head-banging headliners. "Feel free to express yourself," he screams from the stage, "but please don't destroy the place. These bands were born from your support and if you keep things under control the scene is only going to get bigger...
...After all this, it was no surprise that when the spacecraft finally took off for its 11-day trip, Schirra would be just as much of a pit bull about how the ship would be flown. NASA scientists had stuffed the flight plan with experiments and astronomical observations, but Schirra didn't want any part of them.

Naturally, his charm has also turned off others who would love a guy like...
...refusing to endorse either finalist. Sarkozy seems to have won nearly half the voters who in 2002 gave Jean-Marie Le Pen an 18% score. In the runoff Sarkozy will count on the rest plus Bayrou voters who share his focus on economic liberalization and cutting debt. Royal will pit her softer image against Sarkozy's tougher style. The odds favor Sarkozy, but the race is too close to call...
