...France, dismissal wasn't particularly unjust, just brutal. In its third game, against Italy on June 17, France lost its talisman Franck Ribéry to injury barely 10 minutes in, then lost defender Eric Abidal to a red card 15 minutes later for hacking Luca Toni in the box. Andrea Pirlo's subsequent penalty put Italy ahead and then Thierry Henry capped France's night by deflecting Daniele De Rossi's free kick into the net in the second half. This is a sorry end to a generation of greatness. But all was not lost. After the game, French...
...years that he ran the kitchen at La Colombe, the award-winning French restaurant on Cape Town's Constantia Uitsig wine estate, Franck Dangereux was hailed by many as the best chef in Africa. An émigré from Provence, Dangereux blended traditional French cuisine with South African ingredients to such perfection that he earned a spot on Restaurant Magazine's list of the world's 50 best restaurants in 2006. Then he quit...
...Indeed, Tuesday's ruling, in many ways, represents a back door to equal treatment. Franck Tanguy, spokesman for France's Association of Gay and Lesbian Parents, says "this ruling is a step in the right direction" in that it "requires countries that, like France, allow singles to adopt children to treat unmarried homosexual and heterosexual applicants in exactly the same manner."

When Matthew Franck, 37, travels with his wife Christine, 35, and their four children--Sadie, 11; Maxwell, 8; Lily, 5; and Jackson, 1--he hunts far and wide for lodgings that will accommodate them all together at a reasonable cost. Franck, who lives in Jefferson City, Mo., and covers state government for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, has taken to sneaking everyone into one motel room, where they sleep three to a bed and partake of the complimentary breakfast...
Cookies for baby food. CEO Franck Riboud says "the new Danone" will be "the most beautiful food platform you can imagine." Danone's cookie divestiture completed a transformation that has given the former conglomerate a clear focus. To get there, the company has undergone a radical change. In 1996 Danone was selling beer, glass, frozen food, pasta sauces, candies, Italian cheese, cookies, dairy products and water. Riboud, who took over the business from his famous industrialist father Antoine that year (the family controls less than 0.5% of the shares), decided in 1997 to refocus the company, which began its conglomerate...
