...Visit Domaine Lapierre and the vineyards of the other members of the Morgon Gang of Four in Villié-Morgon, where you can sip and sleep at Domaine Jean Foillard's bed and breakfast, tel: (33) 4 74 04 24 97, overlooking the vine-covered Côte de Py hills...
...real iron: the Minister has solid military facts to flaunt. In Pristina, she attended the formal handover of command of Kosovo's more than 18,000 NATO peacekeepers to French Lieut. General Yves de Kermabon. Then she flew to Kabul to meet troops under French Lieut. General Jean-Louis Py, who last month took charge of NATO's 10,000-strong peacekeeping mission there. Now there are roughly twice as many European troops deployed outside the E.U. and NATO countries as there were 10 years ago, according to Charles Grant, director of the Centre for European Reform in London. Most...
...Germany, France, Spain, Belgium and Luxembourg - assumed command of the 6,500 NATO troops in Afghanistan, the organization's first such deployment outside Europe. "I think there's a great deal of expectation for the E.U. to be here within a NATO operation," says French Lieutenant General Jean-Louis Py, Eurocorps' commander in Kabul.

Unfortunately, just as Americans took scones and supersized them into catcher's mitts, TLC doubled What Not into a bloated, tedious hour, and hosts Wayne Scot Lukas and Stacy London deliver showy put-downs ("She looks hip-py, not hippie!") and lack their British forebears' acuity. If there's a real candidate for the American What Not, it's Bravo's Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, which makes its debut July 15 at 10 p.m. E.T. It is also shameless, but in a more original, less creepy...
...often that a prisoner is hap-py to be denied parole. But Aïssa Mesbah may have felt that way last week when he learned that his early release from Muret Prison in Toulouse, where he's seven years into a 12-year sentence for attempted murder, had been denied. A judge had ruled that Mesbah's exemplary conduct in jail warranted his parole. But last week that same judge reversed himself, arguing that Mesbah, 28, was better off behind bars. Early release, the magistrate reasoned, would make Mesbah a victim of France's double peine - a "double jeopardy...
