...place in an apartment in the gleaming modern development of Angers' Saint Léonard neighborhood, a magnet for young professionals. Residents spend afternoons at the Angers Tennis Club and children ride their bicycles along manicured pathways. To avoid the formation of impoverished ghettos in Angers, the city's socialist officials have for years settled low-income families like that of Franck V.'s among far wealthier residents, and heavily subsidized their rent. Franck and Patricia conducted their trade from their three-bedroom apartment in a four-story building on Rue Maurice Pouzet. Customers came and went, but the neighbors...

While analysts believe FI has a good chance of winning seats in Parliament in 2006, they also predict that it could be a one-off performance. Single-issue parties rarely live long. But this prospect doesn't deter Schyman. "We are asking for the voter's mandate...
...work traversed the history of his century. In the '30s, as a student at the University of Chicago, he wrote for a local Socialist journal,the Soapbox; in the '40s, he was on the fringes of theleftish Partisan Review crowd. Two decades later, he found himself at odds with the student movement, anathematized by radicals as a reactionary--the eponymous émigré intellectual of Mr. Sammler's Planet. In the late '80s, when the culture wars erupted, the Nobel laureate was forced to defend the canon of Western literature against "politically correct" students and professors eager to indict that tradition...
