...Iraq has demonstrated America's dominance - and the limits of its power. Though it can win the military battle, Washington needs international help to ensure that Iraq becomes a stable, peaceful country. International collaboration is also crucial to other global challenges, such as terrorism and global warming. For Karsten Voigt, the coordinator for German-American relations in the German Foreign Ministry, a stronger E.U. is one that doesn't define itself "against the United States," but rather "as a partner of the U.S." Fair enough. But if the Bush Administration isn't ready to treat the E.U. as a serious...
...September's election in the western state of Saarland, it won 4% of the vote, heralding its revival. The NPD's success in Saxony is partly due to protest voters angry about Schröder's economic reforms, especially plans to reduce unemployment benefits. NPD national chairman Udo Voigt claims there would be no unemployment in Germany if the government spent its money exclusively on Germans, and not on things like welfare payments to immigrants.

"I have big hips," Voigt told London's Sunday Telegraph, "and Covent Garden has a problem with them." The opera house said it "deeply regrets" that the weight issue became...
Cooking for the temporarily sightless is also a challenge. "We try to preserve the original flavor of the ingredients we use," explains Unsicht-Bar chef Dieter Voigt, 49. "We would never smother meat or vegetables in complicated sauces or use convenience products that mix flavors." The only spices the cook uses - he, it is important to note, works in a well-lit kitchen - are salt, pepper, garlic, onions and herbs...
...know that it's not over till the fat lady sings, and this book wouldn't be complete without the chapter titled "Clean Plate Club." Hoelterhoff throws political correctness to the wind in her descriptions of the "Three Tonners": Debora Voigt, Sharon Sweet and Jane Eaglen. In her merciless critique, she explains the difficulties of having hugely overweight leads playing believable romantic roles. In one version of La Boheme, with Jane Eaglan as Mimi, the Met had to build a bed that sunk with her weight to help some of the extra bulk. Hoelterhoff fills the chapter out with...
