John Lichfield's Paris Notebook: Carla's 'sales' hit by sound of silence
Monday, 15 September 2008
Is Carlamania dying? In France at least? In Britain, no doubt, Carlamania is doomed to have a half-life of a million years. A statistical row is raging in France over the true popularity of the First Lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. Her third pop album, launched in July, has sold either 85,000 copies to French music-lovers or 175,000 copies, depending on how you count the sales.

Saturday, 26 April 2008
A decade ago, when I was new to France, I met a frail, former wartime resistance leader in the Auvergne. What he said about the war shocked me, although it should probably not have done.

• Andrew Grice: The Chancellor must consider tax hikes.
Despite the weight on his shoulders, the Chancellor remains remarkably calm.
• Howard Jacobson: The lesson of Hitler's deformity.
So Hitler actually did have only one ball. I call that a pity for history.
• Deborah Orr: Praising the public on pointless decisions.
People power, as it pertains to television anyway, is proving to be a tricky beast.
