...fear of conflict, but neither does it inspire hope of creating the dynamic growth that France needs. For now, Sarkozy's hand seems stronger than Royal's. Even as he sent lieutenants out to key UDF parliamentarians to encourage them to join his team, he was confident enough to vow at a rally in Dijon on April 23 that he would "seal no alliances to the detriment of my convictions." It's unlikely that he'll need to do so. André Santini, one of half a dozen udf mainstays who have moved into the Sarkozy camp, says...
...resolution supporting Yanukovych; the Lviv region in the west voted to support Yushchenko. Defense Minister Anatoly Gritsenko, one of the two Yushchenko loyalists still in the Cabinet, pledged the armed forces' obedience to the President; the Rada, on the other hand, controls the police. Meanwhile, all the political forces vow to abide by the court's ruling, which is expected within days. "That might be one way out of this stalemate," says Viktor Nebozhenko, Ukraine's authoritative political analyst.

This week, they got help from Malian presidential candidate Tiabali Dram?, who lived for almost two decades as a political exile in France, and saluted the "the kindness, charity and humanity France has traditionally offered immigrants." He added, "Some in France want that to change, but I come to Montfort today thank its people for demonstrating how that tradition remains alive." The fate of the 23 Malians arrested in the town, however, may depend on whether the French...
Word of mouth is the ultimate form of marketing. Which could be a little difficult if your most knowledgeable staff members have taken a vow of silence. The owners and producers of Chartreuse--a liqueur made from 130 herbs and plants--are Carthusian monks who live an ascetic life dedicated to prayer and contemplation at a monastery called La Grande Chartreuse, nested in the French Alps in Voiron, near Grenoble. Nevertheless, because the income generated by sales of the Chartreuse liqueur helps support La Grande Chartreuse and the order's other monasteries around the world, the business--privately and solely...
