...well have been the only area Nicolas Sarkozy was unable to deftly manage during his first 100 days as French president: the size of his love handles.

The weekly magazine l'Express published the original of a photo rival Paris Match had run two weeks earlier, showing the shirtless Sarkozy canoeing with his son during their Wolfesboro, New Hampshire vacation.
