Acquittal in New York

Both Americans and French are talking about the acquittal of two New York policemen accused of raping a woman who was very drunk. They feel this may give hope to DSK's defense. The two situations are very different, and although I have the feeling the cops may be guilty of something, there was no way of proving it. A jury has to base its decisions on evidence, especially DNA in the case of rape.

French readers can turn to Le Figaro.

I know everyone saw the pictures of DSK's posh digs in Tribeca. But if you missed it, turn here. I'm supposed to be impressed, but it looks like an ocean liner, not a home. I suddenly prefer my old house with its tiny closets and cat hair flying about. I would however exchange my slowly decaying bathroom for his (below).

And EVERYBODY is wondering if it includes maid service! Or will Anne Sinclair do the dishes and the laundry?
