...other reasons, too. The same combustible sequence of events that killed Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin's contested youth job bill has played out in identical fashion twice before in the past decade. Huge protests confronted the government's attempt to overhaul pensions in the mid-1990s, and they broke out again when it tried to shake up the Finance Ministry in 2000. In both cases, the government also backed off, with serious consequences. The 1996 climbdown by then Prime Minister Alain Juppé helped bring a socialist government to power the following year; in the 2000 debacle...

He may still remove the abscess but not have to do a whole invasive tumor workup. Doctors talk...
...noontime everyone paused to recite the Angelis, a prayer to Mary. At about 1 p.m. they broke for lunch, followed by a 1:30 get-together.

At 6:20 p.m. all the fellows silently assembled in the chapel for more meditation and prayer. One of the fellows recited prayers in Latin, and at 6:30 came the reciting of the Preces, which fellows call "the universal prayer of the work...

Ahmadinejad was actually upstaged by his most detested domestic political rival, Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani - the former president who, despite the backing of supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini, lost his bid for a third term against Ahmadinejad. Rafsanjani broke news of the enrichment to an Iranian radio station several hours before Ahmadinejad, spoiling the surprise in an effort to deny Ahmadinejad the credit for the politically popular achievement...
...Crimson a 2-1 lead just 44 seconds later when a pass from sophomore attacker Caroline Simmons found her in front of the net. The Harvard defense held the Big Green scoreless for 21 minutes before Dartmouth matched the Crimson at two on a goal from Kristen Zimmer. Martin broke the tie with 2:15 remaining in the half, slithering past two defenders and adding her second goal of the night. The score gave Harvard a 3-2 lead. “[Kaitlin] had a great game,” Harvard coach Sarah Nelson ’94 said...
