But the selfsame mistral likewise presages season's end, and the maids' ritual packing away of the pastels and seersuckers for the annual migration to the dismally gauche winter quarters of Florida.

By Doug Patton
February 10, 2009
Perhaps it was all the hoopla about the historic nature of Barack Obama's presidency.

By Steve Connor, Science editor
Saturday, 27 December 2008
When it comes to science, Barack Obama is no better than many of us. Today he joins the list of shame of those in public life who made scientifically unsupportable statements in 2008.
