...assaulting children," says attorney Monika Pasquini, who is defending one of the women on trial. As the revelations have unfolded in Angers' newspapers, the townsfolk have absorbed the shock quietly. "For the moment, there is little feeling of scandal, but that could emerge as the trial goes on," says Yves Durand, a local journalist. In a courtroom specially constructed for the trial at a cost of about €1 million, the accused sit silently listening as witnesses and prosecutors recount how some of the women helped their husbands organize a steady flow of customers to have sex with their daughters...
...Minutes for Convincing, a political show on the state-owned France 2 network. Marc Tessier, president of France Télévisions, which runs France 2, denied reports that he'd retracted the invitation at the government's request, saying he merely wanted to "avoid polemics." But Yves Loiseau, a France 2 journalist who represents employees on France Télévisions' supervisory board, accuses Tessier of "changing political guests to comply with the powers that be."

When European shoppers aren't taking the low road, buying $7 blue jeans at Tesco or slippers and bratwurst at Lidl, they're traveling the high road: splurging on organic honey at Britain's Waitrose or Yves Saint Laurent blouses at France's Printemps, stores that have demonstrated an uncanny ability to identify and cater to the nuanced needs of high-end consumers. All of which squeezes out the middle. "There are bipolar developments," says Johanna Waterous, a McKinsey & Co. director, who leads the retail practice...
...grocery shopping doubles as a market-research field trip, doesn't take anything for granted. "We're like a little speedboat circling around an ocean liner, so we have to be more innovative," he says. In the past year, Hain has joined forces with two U.S. institutions--providing its Yves veggie burgers as part of the McVeggie at select McDonald's locations and working with Sesame Street on co-branded Earth's Best products. Earth's Best baby food is seen as a key to the company's success for its ability to draw in mainstream shoppers willing...
