...needs to come up with a contingency plan. It’s as if the College is a train conductor who receives word that the rail bridge up ahead has collapsed, but rather than switching tracks, decides to ride full-speed-ahead over the edge, warning other trains by radio on the way down into the fiery abyss. Well, maybe not exactly like that, but something like that anyway...

...Chirac loyalists hoping to fend off Sarkozy's more militant conservative challenge within the government were quick to take up that comforting analysis. Defense minister Miche´le Alliot-Marie said in a radio interview, "I think the Germans have responded in a way that certainly does not allow the application of a totally liberal model."
