It was a fittingly wacky end to a week that has seen bourses see-saw with unprecedented volatility. The VIX, Wall Street's leading measure of market volatility and investor fears, briefly scaled 80 points for the first time in its 18-year history Thursday, as stocks slid over recession worries...

Roberto Della Rocca, who survived seven shots fired at him in 1980 by the Genovese faction of the Red Brigades, would not comment on the First Lady's role, saying that it is Sarkozy who must take responsibility for his actions. "We ask a very simple question to the French authorities and the French people: What if the situation was reversed?
