...never discerned much of a threat. They do now. Bayrou, 55, has jacked up his unlikely campaign for the French presidency into a real threat to the candidates who had until now been established front runners, conservative Nicolas Sarkozy of the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) and Socialist Ségolène Royal. A recent poll put Bayrou and Royal in a dead heat for second place. If his rising trend continues, he could beat her in the first round of the elections on April 22. Only the top two finishers will qualify for the second round...
...turf out the incumbents in every parliamentary election of the last 25 years. He lists further symptoms. Extreme-right candidate Jean-Marie Le Pen reached the second round of the 2002 presidential elections and is running strong now too.

Wide-eyed optimism led me, as it has led freshmen since time immemorial, to join every possible student group. I canvassed for the Green Party, tried out the Socialist Alternative, joined the Environmental Action Committee (EAC), and wrote an article in Perspective. Hell, I even thought about Greenpeace. I appeared on the cover of The Crimson twice, once as a “founding father” in a wig and a band uniform (don?...
...seriously. “Every single e-mail has been perfectly legitimate,” he said, adding that a professor put more textbooks on reserve in the library after receiving an e-mail from the Web site. And when a student criticized an economics professor for pushing a socialist viewpoint—through the anonymous e-mail system—the professor explained his teaching in a mass message to the class and changed the course problem sets to reflect a wider perspective.
