Similar tension is evident far beyond Saint-Gilles. In the wake of the 2005 riots in suburban projects and pitched battles between police and immigrant youth last month in Paris' Gare du Nord train station, more French are gravitating toward hard-line positions. Sarkozy, the former Interior Minister, is a natural law-and-order candidate who spent his time in office noisily battling crime and deporting illegal aliens.

...MINUTE CONVERSATION WITH THE miner in West Nicholson turned out to be my last interview. The plainclothes officers brought me to the West Nicholson police station, where I spent the night. The next day I was driven north to the provincial police headquarters at Gwanda. My escorts accused me of planning to write "negative" stories about Zimbabwe--as if arresting me would dispose me to more positive stories--and carried with them a report from West Nicholson's police chief describing me as a "dedicated journalist on a clandestine mission...
