Leftover clothing, as well as proceeds from the sale of tickets, will be donated to local charities to be chosen by the event planners. Women?...

Then, Sarkozy's actions impressed pundits and the public alike by pushing through a flurry of reforms into law - and staging diplomatic coups by brokering agreement on the simplified European Union treaty; freeing Bulgarian medics held by Libya; and laying the way for restored relations with the U.S. with his vacation chow-down with George W. Bush. But that razzle-dazzle has failed...
