...future of this planet and its people. Lillian Cohen Kfar Monash, Israel Hurricane Hugo Hugo Chavez's speech at the U.N. General Assembly, in which he called President George W. Bush the devil, made no contribution to peace [Oct. 2]. Chávez tried to transform an important forum of debate into a circus. Maybe he thought that he was on Jon Stewart's Daily Show, or maybe he was trying to mimic Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, who banged the lectern with his shoe in the same forum. Both leaders were disrespectful to the delegates, U.N. officials...
...With only a few weeks left in the campaign, and with the stakes for the struggling city so high, the fur should be flying.

We know they are busy and are aware...
...dwindled and readership has shrunk. That Libé is hard up isn't exactly news. For years it has been kept afloat partly by loans from sympathizers whose politics outweighed their business sense. "It was not a normal business," says Bertrand Pecquerie, director of the Paris-based World Editors Forum, who previously worked at the paper. "Everyone in Paris knew that when you put money into Libé, you were sure to lose it." That attitude came to an end as the losses ballooned. And Rothschild's decision last July to fire the paper's longtime editor Serge July...
