...Where Sarkozy's blunt speech and take-charge manner had earlier won him cheers, polls suggest that those qualities now strike many French voters as intemperate, belligerent and undignified. This weekend's incident was not the first. During a visit last November to a Breton fishing port, one fisherman's taunts and insults got so under the president's skin that he dared his heckler to come face him.

...coping strategies. Drawing on research by Dutch psychiatrists indicating that up to one in 25 people hears voices, HVN seeks to recast the phenomenon as a normal experience, encouraging members to maintain a dialogue with their voices so they can live peacefully with and even appreciate their presence. Studies suggest that these auditory hallucinations emerge following traumas ranging from the death of a loved one to outright abuse, so HVN encourages members to address the phenomenon with these origins in mind. In the past six years, HVN in England has doubled its number of support groups to more than...
