...Paris, incumbent Socialist mayor Betrand Delanoë added eight points to his razor-thin margin of victory in 2001 - not only winning an outright majority of the city council, but also positioning himself as a favorite in an expected showdown with former presidential candidate Ségolène Royal for the party's leadership later this year. Socialist-led tickets captured France's third-largest city, Toulouse, after 37 years of conservative domination. They also claimed Strasbourg, Saint-Etienne, Blois, Caen, Reims, Metz and Rouen from the right. Leftists were meanwhile returned to power in Lyon, Lille, Rennes...

Most of the few hundred people in the building are on first-name terms. The organization squeezes by on a budget of about $65 million a year from member countries' donations - approximately the same amount that the New York Police Department spends in an average week. Interpol's staff in Lyons joke bitterly that the organization costs little more than David Beckham...
