...road, sending Ponnudorai, a passenger, headfirst through the window. Initially, he appeared miraculously unscathed and was sent home with a head full of stitches. But days later, he was unable to fret guitar chords or walk a straight line. Fresh tests revealed a massive blood clot covering an entire side of his brain, just waiting to rupture, and he was rushed into surgery. Against medical predictions he survived, but the experience left him emotionally transformed. "Things that were so important-success, recognition, accolades-suddenly didn't matter anymore," he says. "And as a byproduct of my heightened awareness after...
...recent trip to Mumbai (formerly Bombay), though, I had the great fortune of eating at Trishna, tel: (91-22) 2270 3213, the one restaurant in India that had made Apple's list.

André Glucksmann, a philosopher who has embraced Sarkozy, sees a parallel to this revolutionary epoch. "France was liberated in May '68," he says. "Now Sarkozy, with his plain talk, has shaken...
...afterglow of Sarkozy's election, my country's economic and political future looks more promising than at any time that I can remember - at least from the other side of the Atlantic. If he succeeds in putting the economy back on track, France will no longer be seen as "the sick man of Europe," but can instead reemerge as a European and global leader in confronting the challenges of the 21st century. To the French and their Diaspora, Sarkozy has offered nothing less than a France nouvelle. Let's just hope that in the process, he will soften...
