Brown to Face Critics After Poll Climbdown
I do not believe that this is damaging to the prime minister," he told BBC radio. "We have had discombobulation in politics from time to time, but this is low on the Richter Scale, and it will pass." Brown, who took over from Tony Blair three months ago, insisted he would have won an election had he decided to call it, but wanted time to carry out his policies first. "The easiest thing I could have done is call an election. I could have called an election on competence ... We could have won an election now or won an election sooner or later," Brown said in an interview with the BBC. "I believe the country deserves to see from us our vision of the future and our implementation of it." Speculation of an early vote had run riot over the past few weeks when polls showed Brown with an 11 percent lead over his Conservative rivals.

Jacques Chirac may face criminal charges over his largesse as Paris ...
Mr Chirac, 74, became the first post-war French leader to be placed under formal investigation on suspicion of crime when he was summoned yesterday morning to the office of a judge enquiring into the use of city funds in the appointment of staff. The case is one of half a dozen which sprang from investigations that began in 1999 into "la machine Chirac", the fortress-like city hall that the former president built up as his power base before he won the Elysee Palace in 1995. Continuing enquiries and completed trials have shown how millions of pounds of city and corporate funds were diverted for political ends during Mr Chirac's mayoral reign. .

Phillips’ easy hand a big reason for Cowboys’ success
Parcells quit so late into the coach-hiring season that Jones had to take the best of what was left and hope for the best. Maybe that's why he cried at Phillips' introductory news conference. Twice. n n n Jones used the line about the eggshells that same day. Soon, players were the ones cracking up. At his first team meeting, Phillips announced, “Anybody who is not here, raise your hand." The corny line was a perfect tension breaker. Phillips let everyone know the bully was gone, replaced by someone more likely to be called the class clown. It was his first mind game, too. “It let you know what you're in store for, what kind of season you're getting ready to have," linebacker Kevin Burnett said. Phillips' attitude was refreshing but not a surprise because he already was known as a “player's coach." The surprises were how effectively he got his point across and how good those points were.
