...bridge political divides. Michèle Canet, head of the Socialist group at the General Council of Hauts-de-Seine, says he made similar vows to collaborate with opponents when he took over there in 2004, "but he never worked with us. He just used the office as a tool for his campaign." Indeed, now that the campaign is over, Sarkozy may well prove as hard-edged and polarizing as ever. If he channels even half the abrasive, risk-taking energy he expended on his rise to the top, France will be in for a bracing five years...
...with broad appeal that would help foster Harvard identity. This trend continued through the spring semester, as the CEB choose to forgo campus-wide events in favor of a series of small events with limited appeal. “Campus-Wide Risk” may be an excellent procrastination tool, but a web-based game is not a “campus-wide” event; Sing-Along nights, though creative, do not have the broad appeal Undergraduate Council (UC) Movie Nights once did; and while “Pimp Yo’ Stein Club?...
...perfect scent isn't worth anything, though, until it leaves the laboratory. To capture and translate the smell of a plant for consumers, IFF relies on a kind of camera for smell.

Architects, photographers, interior designers and Japanese anime artists are using self-publishing websites to produce books that showcase their work in a style comparable to that of established art-book publishers. Professional books like Kaufmann's "are the fastest-growing segment of our business...
...relativism, progress itself has come to seem a perniciously elitist and Eurocentric concept, a useful ideological tool for advancing a global capitalist agenda at the expense of what is condescendingly referred to as the “developing world.” And the neo-conservatives, who have portrayed themselves as the paladins of “end of history” Hegelian progressivism, are routinely demonized for leading the United States into a mistaken war in Iraq. All told, progress and the talk thereof have become nothing short of a pariah...
