...ready,” Harvard coach Jay Weiss said. “They showed a lot of courage. Many other people wouldn’t have [competed], but they wanted to go out on their own terms.” Unfortunately for the two seniors, they dropped opening round bouts to the top-seeded wrestlers at 157 and 165 lbs. and would not advance in the consolation draw. It was instead the future of Harvard wrestling that shone brightest. Sophomore J.P. O’Connor, ranked first in the tournament and second in the country, tore through...

Little wonder, then, that Fillon and other conservative leaders applauded the initial outcome as "balanced," and denounced leftist claims that constituted a rebuke of Sarkozy as as "partisan politics that don't correspond to local realities...
...Still, local realities allowed Socialist-led majorities to capture city halls in first-round polling in France's third-largest city Lyon, as well as in Nantes, Rouen and Dijon. The left also posted dominant leads in Paris, Lille and Strasbourg, and was in tight races going into run-offs even in such traditional conservative bastions as Marseille and Toulouse. In many close runoff races next weekend, Socialist candidates appear more likely to gain the support of the centrist Modem party, which had once been a coalition partner of Sarkozy's UMP - although the centrists may demand a prohibitive price...
