...Beyond the overt animal rights conflict, however, the situation may not be so simple. The latest round of controversy followed a story that El Mundo, a conservative daily lately devoted to accusing the Socialist government of undermining Spain's traditional values and identity, ran earlier this week. Yet TVE's decision is more than two years old and arguably has more to do with a 2004 code that prevents violence on public television during hours when children are likely to watch than with an anti-bullfighting agenda...
...good times ended in 1957 when New Delhi's socialist government granted itself sole development rights for the city, forcing private firms out of the business. By then, Singh had married into the family. The son of landlords as well, he had studied aeronautical engineering in Britain before returning home as an officer in the Indian army. By the time he joined his father-in-law's business in 1960, real estate development work had dried up completely.

Weddings are the bread and butter of bridal fairs and magazines, and of the fashion and event management industries...
...would really be paradoxical if you had Great Britain taking its distance and France aligning itself [with the U.S.] at the same moment that President Bush has been discredited," fumed Pierre Moscovici, a French Socialist Party official who oversees international affairs. Moscovici warns that Sarkozy is betting on the wrong political horse. "George Bush isn't America," Moscovici told the weekly Journal du Dimanche. "He's a man who is totally rejected today, whose at the end of his mandate - a lame duck - and who shares power with a Democratic Congress. It would be a grave error to demonstrate ostensible...
