...biggest loss of support comes among more traditional sections of society that feel the publicity surrounding the President's private affairs is undermining a presidential office designed to remain stately, dignified, and above the fray," says Stéphane Rozès, deputy director general of the CSA polling agency, which conducted the survey. Some of the decay in his standing comes from people who hadn't voted for Sarkozy in the first place, but had been initially impressed by his energetic and iconoclastic style; many apparently now feel the President's flair has done little to improve a gloomy...

Unless the industry finds alternatives to using pelagic fish to sustain fish farms, says Naylor, the aquaculture industry could end up depleting an essential food source for many other species in the marine food chain...

...doctrine, she advocates a tougher line on delinquents, wants to loosen widely circumvented rules requiring students to attend schools in their neighborhoods, and has even criticized the 35-hour workweek. "She is popular because she's a woman who has a nondoctrinaire stance toward politics," says Stéphane Rozès, director of the polling firm CSA-Opinions. "People see her as out to solve problems, while so many others, most of them men, are stuck in the fog of ideology." That's a sense that has taken hold not just in the wider public, but among activists. Socialist...
