We turn slightly and see a man—probably in his late 60s, wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses—round the coffee stand. He is dressed in a gray t-shirt beneath a navy-blue basketball jersey, both of which are tucked into his Adidas sweatpants. In one hand, he carries the Savage Garden-blasting boombox, and in the other, he totes a pink bag emblazoned with the faces...

He warned that instead of overextending himself - and trying to resolve the irresolvable Lisbon Treaty morass - Sarkozy should limit himself to a few key policy issues that the E.U. can rally round...

Pretoria-based Zimbabwe expert Chris Maroleng, of the International Institute of Strategic Studies, describes the three months since the first round of voting on March 29 - in which Tsvangirai came out ahead, but without the outright majority that would have ruled out a runoff - as a creeping military coup. The army, police and government-sponsored militias have fanned out across the country, killing, beating and displacing opposition supporters, wresting control...
