Anne Hidalgo’s initial proposals for making Paris a more welcoming city for travelers appear thoughtful as well as workable. After a deliberately uncharismatic campaign in keeping with her image as a hardworking civil servant, Hidalgo is “deputy” no more. “For a long time now, I’ve gone my own way, without having a team of spokespeople […]
The Benghazi Cover Up: It Gets Worse
The principals are known. Why have they not been arrested? Here the WSJ looks into the botched effort Congress has made of the cover up investigation.
