...recreational activities (vs. only 0.7% for Germany, 0.5% for the U.K. and 0.3% for the U.S.). The Culture Ministry, with its 11,200 employees, lavishes money on such "high-culture" mainstays as museums, opera houses and theater festivals. But the ministry also appointed a Minister for Rock 'n' Roll in the 1980s to help France compete against the Anglo-Saxons (unsuccessfully). Likewise, parliament in 2005 voted to designate foie gras as a protection-worthy part of the nation's cultural heritage...
...foods wrapped in plastic packaging and, most dramatically, conduct the elimination of their waste without the aid of wasteful paper products. I mull the logistics of paperless hygiene as I load a family-size pack of Charmin Ultra Soft into my Subaru Forester. According to the plastic packaging, each roll contains 569 sq. ft.

...altered shades. A bit impractical for the average traveler, white reinforced the air of luxury possessed by Valextra. In 1954 the company won the prestigious Compasso d'Oro design award for its 24 ore bag, a briefcase roomy enough to fit a change of clothes. On a roll through the '50s and '60s?when a Kuwaiti emir ordered 14 full sets of luggage?the company stalled after Fontana left in the late '70s. Passing under several sets of new owners, Valextra languished as workmanship diminished, until 2003 when new owners began a return to the company's roots. It lured...

Another senior adviser issues a reminder of the campaign's brush with death - "This summer you wouldn't have predicted we'd even be having this conversation" - before declaring that McCain could come in "third, maybe even second" once the caucuses roll around. The most direct answer is Davis's, and it's based on managing press expectations: McCain can't pull out of Iowa, he says, because pundits "wouldn't give us credit for making the decision, and still report we came in fifth...
