...outdated traditions - including perhaps the tradition of disregarding French leaders' sexual relationships. In contrast to the aloof Jacques Chirac, Sarkozy has stormed across the world, being photographed as he jogs, eats, drinks, and meets countless world leaders. "Sarkozy does not like to hide things," says Jaigu. "It is his trademark. Now he will never be able to hide from photographers." Then again, even Sarkozy could find himself upstaged by the ever-photogenic Bruni...
...that flank the facade of our cathedral. Pull ‘n’ Peel Twizzlers would form delicate tracery, and peppermints would substitute for portholes. Hershey’s Kisses would adorn the tops of our tallest towers. And spice drops would comprise Notre-Dame’s trademark rose windows.

But he leavens the joy of this personal salvation with the message that being "in" means understanding poverty as the Saviour did: Mars Hill is aggressively socially active...
Kudos to Katonah, N.Y., for fighting Martha Stewart's efforts to trademark the town's name [Nov. 19]. Is Stewart's ego so big that she has to own a town's name? This is identity theft, another example of the avarice of corporations and the people who run them. Who gives these demigods the right to tell people what's best for them? Stewart should take a page from Katonah's history and move herself...
