Once upon a time, a little-known Southern Governor charmed Iowa voters with his frank expressions of Baptist faith and a pledge to tell the truth no matter what. And that's how Jimmy Carter became President of the United States. It's a story Mike Huckabee knows well. He likes it much better than the one about televangelist Pat Robertson's strong showing in Iowa, which melted away faster than a Tulsa ice storm when the contest went national.

For more than a century after the country's birth in 1830, French-speaking Wallonia - the southern part of the country with roughly a third of the population - was in an industrial whirl, thanks to its success in mining and steelmaking. Flanders was considered a backwater; it wasn't until 1930 that Flemish students could study in their own language at a Belgian university. Now, with the decline of heavy industry, Wallonia is in a slump while Flanders...
