China disdains Hong Kong's freedom

The German nobility, some 80,000 barons, counts, and princes, may have disdained some of the Nazis’ populism, but, encouraged by a mutual anti-Semitism and an aversion to Marxists and socialists, they forged an alliance with the reich nonetheless.

Scotch Tape Unleashes X-Ray Power


By KENNETH CHANG

Published: October 23, 2008

In a tour de force of office supply physics, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, have shown that it is possible to produce X-rays by simply unrolling Scotch tape.


But in the wake of a $7 billion loss attributed to a rogue trader at one of the nation’s leading banks, Société Générale, France’s modern-day aristocracy finds itself in the one place it never wants to be: the spotlight.
While the trader, Jérôme Kerviel, now jailed, wasn’t a graduate of a top school or a member of an elite group like the Club des Cent, Société Générale’s embattled chief executive, Daniel Bouton, is both. And the fact that Mr. Bouton and other top managers of the bank have kept their posts since the scandal erupted nearly a month ago has unleashed criticism here that the French elite is an ancien régime — playing by old rules (largely its own) and quick to shift blame to protect itself.
