...Britain, Amanda Sebestyen writes, the feminist movement "has spent too many years apologizing for itself and seeking a niche in the male-dominated socialist movement." Sebestyen's piece is one of the few that rings with a pessimistic tone. "Much of the last 10 years or so of our movement has conducted itself with truly British reticence. The mass marches of women in Italy, the United States and Ireland never happened here...

By adding that condition, the Prime Minister left himself a loophole. Greece cannot afford to lose even an unsatisfactory U.S. aid package. Papandreou knows...
...globe. THE DOLLAR IS DEFYING ALL LAWS OF GRAVITY exclaimed Madrid's financial daily Cinco Dias. Newspapers across France's wide political spectrum were equally excited. Read the front page of Paris' conservative Le Figaro: OVER 10 FRANCS, THE DOLLAR HAS GONE THROUGH THE CEILING. One edition of the Socialist tabloid Le Matin included a replica of a $1 bill. By buying a copy for the newsstand price of 4 francs, the newspaper proclaimed, readers could get a "dollar" at a 60% discount...
