...deciding for themselves who to vote for. Don't make the mistake of equating the impact of a Richard Land or a Dobson with the head of the AFL-CIO. We don't have that kind of authority, don't aspire to it and the people in the movement wouldn't allow it anyway. Only a candidate can deliver the voters to himself. And it is social conservative voters who'll decide the person for whom they're going to vote in the primary and general election...
...marketing at Coventry University. "We're not seeing huge growth in the retail and merchandise markets." So, while domestic attendance has climbed this season, boosting income further means pushing up ticket prices or knocking up even bigger stadiums. That, or playing in front of a new, hungry audience. Scudamore wouldn't say how much money the proposed "international round" would generate for the teams...

And here come two more: Peter Carey's His Illegal Self (Knopf; 272 pages) and Hari Kunzru's My Revolutions (Dutton; 288 pages). Didn't anybody just leave...
...Were his problems limited to bad polls and petty rivalries for media face time, the picture for Sarkozy wouldn't be so bad. But as he met with his cabinet, thousands of taxi drivers protesting proposed deregulation of their profession created mammoth traffic jams in cities across France - another in a series of strikes Sarkozy's wider reform drive has faced since October. This time it was cabbies denouncing sweeping liberalization across a range of small, protected business sectors, as proposed in a study by an expert panel commissioned by Sarkozy to find ways of stimulating economic growth. The commission...
