...also constituted a drop of 16 points from his presidential high of 65% in July. Then, Sarkozy's actions impressed pundits and the public alike by pushing through a flurry of reforms into law - and staging diplomatic coups by brokering agreement on the simplified European Union treaty; freeing Bulgarian medics held by Libya; and laying the way for restored relations with the U.S. with his vacation chow-down with George W. Bush. But that razzle-dazzle has failed to achieve what French consumers are waiting for most: economic growth capable of cutting joblessness, and putting more disposable income into their...
Unlike Coca-Cola's, Kit Kat's formula is different almost everywhere. A Russian Kit Kat is a fraction of an ounce smaller than a Bulgarian one, and the chocolate is coarser and not as sweet as that in a German Kit Kat. In Japan, strawberry-flavored Kit Kat is all the rage. Each of these product variations is the result of thorough market research on local tastes. "There is no global consumer for the food-and-beverage business. This is a deep belief we have," Brabeck says...
...there are objections from many differing strands of French politics over Sarkozy's high-profile role in the case - one reminiscent of his successful push last July to secure the freeing of six Bulgarian medics facing capital punishment on trumped-up murder charges in Libya.

At around this time France also...
...constitution, for example, yet he has continually criticized the European Central Bank - and attacked its president, Jean-Claude Trichet - for not shaping policy to French economic considerations. Similarly, just how good a European was Sarkozy being when he preempted years of effort by Brussels to secure the freedom of Bulgarian medics held by Libya in order to cut a deal of his own with Tripoli? Sarkozy did a marvelous job restoring relations between Paris and Washington, but were the military and nuclear deals France signed with Libya really in the best interests of the Atlantic alliance...
...foreign affairs, Sarkozy has similarly shown a flair for big announcements of limited results. Despite his finish-line sprint, 99% of the credit for freeing the Bulgarian medics from Libya goes to years of tireless work by E.U. officials. Sarkozy's warmer relations with the U.S. shouldn't and can't hide the deep differences that France and Europe have with America - and not just on Iraq. And it's hard to fully applaud his success in Europe's agreement on the simplified treaty when, elsewhere, Sarkozy sends the message to Germany and others that their work to trim deficits...
