...best when we're boldest," used to be Tony Blair's catchphrase. He'd better hope it's true after a brutal Cabinet shakeup in the wake of multiple scandals and poor local-election results. Blair's top scalps included John Prescott, who remained his deputy but lost his departmental responsibilities, and Home Secretary Charles Clarke.

Swept back to center stage and his traditional role as the national Cassandra, Le Pen has found supporters flocking to him anew in the wake of the suburban Muslim riots of November, and two months of violent youth protests over labor reform this year.
