Four thousand marched against the Iraq war in Kennebunkport Saturday, an event that I surely would have missed except for being in Maine, where the Portland Press-Herald had multiple days of respectful page one coverage. The Kennebunkport march isn't the kind of event that makes national news -- and indeed it didn't -- but it got me thinking: How many other similar protests and marches are going on out there?

"France is back, there are no problems between France and the United States, or between the French people and the American people," said Sarkozy on the eve of his departure from a two-week family holiday in New Hampshire. The leaders met at the Bush family residence in Kennebunkport, Maine, and dined on an American picnic lunch of hot dogs and hamburgers, though Sarkozy's wife Cecilia bowed out at the last minute citing...

Three weeks ago, Cécilia Sarkozy, the glamorous wife of the French president, drew criticism here for her high-profile role in the freeing of jailed medical workers from Libya, a job some thought was best left to diplomats. Now Mrs. Sarkozy, a 49-year-old former model, is under scrutiny again, this time for ducking out of public appearances where a presidential spouse would be expected. Her latest infraction of spousal etiquette: skipping a picnic with the Bush family in New England. After accepting a rare, personal invitation to dine with President Bush and his family in Kennebunkport, Me., on Saturday, Mrs. Sarkozy...

The tricolor flag of France flapped in the wind on Saturday afternoon over the craggy seaside promontory known here as Walker's Point. President George W. Bush greeted his French counterpart, Nicolas Sarkozy, with a hearty clap on the shoulder. Sarkozy, looking relaxed in a blazer and jeans, kissed Barbara Bush's hand. And the menu, for what the White House billed "a casual family lunch," most certainly did not include freedom fries. "We're going to give him a hamburger or a hot dog, his choice," Bush said as he waited for Sarkozy to arrive. He was flanked by the first lady,...
