...Marianne headline attests, there's something in Besson that just about everyone in France can detest. A former Socialist party official, Besson is considered the consummate traitor by the left after defecting from the 2007 presidential campaign of Ségolène Royal over strategy differences and throwing his support behind Sarkozy, the conservative candidate. Since then, he's embraced his new right-wing faith with the zealousness of a convert, making many long-time conservatives uncomfortable. Chief among his more hard-line moves has been the decision to hold an ongoing series of town hall meetings across France...

In the southern Rhône, Philippe Viret had an epiphanic moment several years ago when tasting the cuvée Pithos by Azienda Agricola Cos - a star vineyard in the current Sicilian wine renaissance that ferments Frappato in simple terra-cotta amphorae. Joining with an artisan potter in 2007, Viret now creates an amphora-fermented Mourvèdre assemblage, with Muscat Petit Grain and Clairette Rose cuvées to come. He vaunts the gentle, low temperatures of fermentation in clay...
...Have a baby by me, baby! Be a millionaire” and “you can feel every inch of it when we intimate / I’ll use my tongue baby, I’ll leave you sprung baby.” R&B star Ne-Yo contributes to the blithe fun in the song’s hook, explaining in his most sincere croon, “bet I’ll have you gone,” and, with a quick-paced, commanding tone, and repeatedly implores, “come see what I mean...
