...their tyrannical leaders. I would like to see Bob Geldof and Bono tackle the issue of reducing the rich world's agricultural subsidies. They are truly unfair.

"If they choose to modernize, they may rally rather quickly. If they opt for antiquity, they'll lose moderate leftists without luring back voters they've already lost." With local, regional and European elections set for 2004, France's leftist parties must decide which direction they'll take if they hope to recover soon. How they...
