...unlikely success story. The son of a Hungarian immigrant, he eschewed the Ecole Nationale d'Administration, which traditionally trains the country's administrative, business and political élite. Instead, he studied political science at the Institut d'Etudes Politiques in Paris, and later law at the Paris University's suburban Nanterre campus. At 17, he got into politics through conservative youth organizations, and at 22 won a seat on the municipal council in the posh Paris suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine. In 1983 he was elected its mayor, and five years later joined Parliament. Sarkozy's commitment and dedication helped...

...soon he got sent away. Feeling that English boarding schools were too stuffy, Rosemary and Richard sent John to the Institut Montana Zugerberg near Zurich, a strict place with only a handful of English-speaking boys. "At first I was homesick as hell," Kerry says. Raised a Catholic, Kerry says he found comfort and company in church, becoming quite religious and serving as an altar boy. "I remember him writing me to remember to say my prayers," Peggy recalls. Cam, on the other hand, recalls how John learned to swear in Italian. "That part I do remember. Him coming back...

...conservative successor Jean Tiberi figured they had rightly read the public will by keeping a strict limit on building heights. As Blet and other opponents of towers point out, the height restrictions haven't cut Paris off entirely from architectural innovation: consider Jean Nouvel's glass-walled Institut du Monde Arabe (1988) along the Seine and I.M. Pei's pyramid at the Louvre (1989). "Nothing is stopping them from making nice things," insists Fabrice Piault, head of an activist neighborhood organization in the 13th arrondissement, where office buildings are filling in the space around the four 79-m towers...

...though money may well be at the root of all evil, it can also pave the road to a greater justice, a more benevolent, though still imperfect, world. Indeed, the one major difference I have thus far seen between the supposedly "élite" university where I also teach - the Institut d'études Politiques de Paris, for which most must pass an entrance exam and pay around 31,000 in annual tuition - and the more "democratic" ones, is that the former works.
