...Chancellor?s papers after sending copies to his bosses in East Berlin. Conleth Hill (who amused Broadway audiences as one of the two actors playing dozens of roles in ?Stones in My Pockets? three years back) incarnates Guillaume as a piggy-faced toady who can?t help admiring his victim. ?He listens, that?s his trick,? he says of Brandt. The Chancellor, impersonated by Roger Allam (the original Javert in the musical ?Les Miserables?) with a puffed-out chest that shows awareness of his charismatic statesmanship, relishes danger, even the threat of a spy in his bosom: ?The merest possibility...
...they claim, the courts don't take their concerns seriously. They are rankled, for instance, over an August administrative appeals court ruling to reinstate two 11-year-old boys who had hit and insulted a Jewish classmate at Paris' élite Lycée Montaigne.

"When I finally dared to reject Governor McGreevey's advances, the retaliatory actions taken by him and members of his administration were nothing short of abuse and intimidation...
...army, as well. No one has claimed that these "coffins" were once supplied for $172 each but, in 1999, were bought for $2,500 each. There is also no reason to imply that the Defense Minister should resign. Why should any false allegation force him to quit? As a victim of Tehelka.com's stage-managed sting operation, I strongly object to your saying that I was recorded taking bribes. Everyone who knows me knows I would rather die than ever take a bribe. If you see the tapes carefully and listen to the dialogue, the "bribe" is only...
