2、on outline) An attractive American student on trial for murder can count on support 6,000 miles away in her native Seattle. There, one of Amanda Knoxs most vocal backers is attorney Anne Bremner, who has offered her counsel pro bono to the accuseds family and is a spokeswoman for Friends of Amanda.
3、On Friday, she sat down with TIME to go over the case against Knox, who took the witness (1) _on Friday in her murder trial.Video footage from the crime scene of British student Meredith Kerchers murder (2) _ on a laptop screen as Bremner points out what she deems critical (3) _ in the collection of
4、 evidence. After placing rulers on the sides of a bloody shoeprint, for example, a blue-rubber-gloved hand reaches down with a piece of white cloth and (4) _ the bloody mark off the tile floor before putting the cloth into an evidence tube. This happens three times for three (5) _footprints. In film
5、 footage taken at least a day later, another team of investigators attempts, using photographs, to place where the footprints had been. They should have lifted the tile, Bremner says, shaking her head. In what is surely a well-rehearsed (6) _ by now, Bremner goes on to (7) _ the case against Knox, p
6、oint by point. The (8) _, she says, is most likely relying on a knife found at the house of Knoxs then boyfriend and fellow accused Rafaelle Sollecito. That knife has Knoxs DNA on the handle and what some forensic scientists say is Kerchers DNA on the (9) _. But Bremner dismisses the idea that it is
7、 the knife that killed Kercher: They never found the murder weapon. Bremner claims that a bloody print on the bed linens conveys the shape of the actual murder weapon and that the knife in question doesnt match an (10) _ of the knife on the bed. Additionally, Bremner says, expert testimony has alrea
8、dy indicated that at least two of the wounds on Kerchers neck couldnt have been made by that particular blade. That (11) _, she points out, its not surprising that Knoxs DNA would be on its handle; she prepared dinner with Sollecito in his apartment.As to whether the DNA on the tip belongs to Kerche
9、r, experts disagree. Patrizia Stefanoni, a police forensics expert who testified in the pretrial hearing in May, suggested that it was Kerchers DNA on the tip of the knife and that the way the (12) _ material was positioned indicated the knife had probably been used to (13) _ the skin. But other exp
10、erts who have analyzed the DNA evidence for the defense suggest that poor sample quality and possible contamination undermine the (14) _ of these results.Contamination was also likely with the DNA found on Kerchers bra clasp, Bremner says, pointing out that the clasp wasnt collected until more than
11、two months after the murder and that throughout film footage of the crime scene investigation it (15) _ changes location suggesting it was picked up and moved several times. Bremner goes on to criticize the (16) _ assassination the media have directed at Knox since the beginning of the trial, which
12、she believes gives the defense an uphill battle in front of a jury that is unsequestered and thus (17) _ to the often explosive stories in the press.Accounts of Knox doing splits and cartwheels as she awaited questioning by the police are a (18) _of the behavior of a teenager exhibiting restlessness
13、, Bremner argues, and depictions of a hypersexualized relationship with her on-again, off-again boyfriend Sollecito have been (19) _dramatized. They met at a music concert and had been dating for two weeks when this happened, she says. Its hard to be on-again, off-again in two weeks. Her list goes o
14、n. It was reported that Knox went out to buy lingerie and had an explicit conversation about sex with Sollecito as the investigation first got (20) _ way. That house was a crime scene, Bremner explains, so she couldnt go back in and didnt have any clothes. And the person who (21) _ reported that thi
15、s conversation had been overheard didnt even speak English, and their conversation was in English.As the trial goes on, the prosecution will surely continue to drive (22) _ their most damning points: the knife; Knoxs statement putting herself at the house the night Kercher was (23) _. And the defens
16、e will probably point to the crime-scene video, with its frequent stops and starts, and to alleged flaws in the (24) _ for example, when a female investigator reaches down with tweezers to pluck a hair (25) _ off the blood-stained duvet, her own long hair dangles down (26) _ her.(27) _, back in Seat
17、tle, Knoxs supporters will be following all this from afar. And observing a bitter milestone: this weekend, Knoxs testimony (28) _ with what would have been her college graduation. Her former classmates are (29)_ their lives,Bremner says, and shes (30) _ in jail.TEXT 2(affection consistent identity

19、looking President Nicolas Sarkozy in a heavy rainstorm with a headline that read whats happening to him? Both the image and the question (1)_ Sarkozys transformation from a leader who could do no wrong to one whose every move seems to incite opposition or controversy even among (2)_. Many of the Fre
20、nch Presidents (3)_ exist because voters are confused about what he stands for. His decisions seem to contradict each other, they complain, and his policies are often ideologically schizophrenic. For the first two years of his presidency, Sarkozy convinced French public opinion that all he had to do
21、 was announce reform for it to be as good as done that his word and desired results were one and the (4)_, says Denis Muzet, president of Mdiascopie, a public-opinion research institute in Paris. Since last January, however, people have not only begun complaining its all gesticulation with (5) _ rea
22、l result, but that the reforms themselves are clashing in nature, illegible in content, and often harmful in what they achieve. They see no ideological (6)_ in Sarkozys reform or leadership. Which means that the more salient question might actually be: Who is Nicolas Sarkozy? Is he the man elected P
23、resident in May 2007, who immediately set out to lower income taxes, (7)_ Frances 35-hour workweek, revoke special retirement (8)_ for public-transport workers, and harangue employees to work (9)_ to earn more? Or is he the leader who in the past year has (10)_ down greedy bankers, fumed at U.S. and
24、 British resistance to French plans for strict new regulations of the global finance (11)_, and preached the gospel of moralizing (12)_ ? Is he the man, a son of a Hungarian immigrant, who, newly elected, challenged French (13)_ of color-blind galit by (14)_ for American-style affirmative action? Or
25、 is he the leader who, facing critical regional elections next March, has begun openly courting voters of the extreme-right National Front with a (15)_ on illegal aliens and a divisive national debate on immigration and French (16)_? All politicians contradict themselves, of course. Its almost impos
26、sible to remain perfectly (17)_ and ideologically pure under the watchful gaze of the media especially in an age when conflicting statements are just a (18)_ on YouTube away. But Sarkozys slipperiness is (19)_ because his political success has been built around his reputation as a straight talker an
27、d someone who acts rather than bloviates. Now many voters and even some of his former allies are questioning the President they thought they knew. This is classic Sarkozy: claiming that adaptable principles and a willingness to take any stand (20)_ to reinforce his own political interests are in fac
28、t proof of (21)_ and openness to all views, says a former adviser to conservative politicians, who spoke on (22)_ of anonymity. Zero conviction and fidelity except to himself. Take international affairs. During the first year of his presidency, Sarkozys frosty relationship with German Chancellor Ang
29、ela Merkel led him to (23)_ the Franco-German relationship that has (24)_ been central to French policy in Europe and instead (25)_ closer ties with the U.K. But in April, ahead of the G-20 summit in London, the French leader rushed back to Merkel on the issue of tougher international regulation of
30、financial markets, and has since encouraged a tighter relationship with Berlin. Last week, Sarkozy even started a public fight with British Chancellor Alistair Darling by bragging that the appointment of a French official to oversee E.U. regulation of financial markets was both a victory of the Euro
31、pean (26)_, which has nothing to do with the excesses of financial capitalism, and a chance to (27)_ down on the City Londons financial hub a threat Darling described as self-defeating and a recipe for confusion.Sarkozys early idolization of U.S. President Barack Obama has likewise given way to bitt
32、er disappointment over the Americans slow, consensual method of reform and his refusal to return Sarkozys public displays of (28)_. Theres also the pesky issue of human rights. Sarkozy pledged to place human rights at the top of his list of requirements for diplomatic partners before he was elected
33、but that quickly gave way to an embrace of leaders like Muammar Gaddafi from Libya and Bashar al-Assad from Syria, state trips to pal around with African (29)_, and a congratulatory call to Vladimir Putin after his partys December 2007 success in legislative elections (30)_ by accusations of corrupt

35、 will reopen Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House. the 2000 Republican platform.But they never did. Eight years later, the barricades remain. It was a phony issue, of course just another _1_ with which to beat Bill Clinton, who closed the road at the _2_ of the Secret Service. In an inter
36、view with PBS a month after Sept. 11, 2001, Vice President Dick Cheney stated the obvious: Pennsylvania Avenue ought to stay closed because, as a fact, if somebody were to _3_ a truck bomb in front of the White House, it would probably level the White House, and that is unacceptable.Sept. 11 is the
37、excuse for many of the Bush Administrations failures and _4_. It is also the basis for the one great claim made on George W. Bushs _5_: At least he has protected us from terrorism. In the seven years since that day, there has not been another foreign-terrorist attack on the American homeland. The _6
38、_ is that there were no foreign-terrorist attacks on the American homeland in the seven years before 9/11 either. The risk of another terrorist attack didnt increase on 9/11 only our _7_ of the risk. The Bush Administration took office mocking the concern that someone might blow up the White House b
39、ut soon enough was _8_ that concern. The platform on which Bush entered the presidency eight years ago comes from a lost world, in which even the party out of power saw an America of unthreatened prosperity and_9_ Yesterdays wildest dreams are todays realities, and there is no limit on the _10_ of t
40、omorrow, the GOP said. The biggest foreign policy _11_ America faced in 2000, according to this party document, was to avoid _12_. our enormous power. Earlier generations defended America through great _13_ the platform declared. Then it quoted the Republican _14_ Bush, on the importance of showing
41、the _15_ of true strength. The humility of real greatness. Even enthusiasts of Bushs foreign policy would not describe it as _16_ the humility of true greatness. More like the pugnacity of lost greatness. All that talk of one superpower us bestriding a unipolar world seems as _17_ as Seinfeld reruns
42、.The measure of Bushs failure as President is not his broken promises or unmet goals. All politicians break their promises, and none achieve the goals of their soaring rhetoric. But Bush stands out for abandoning the promises and goals that got him _18_, taking up the _19_ ones and then failing to k
43、eep or meet those.In 2000 Bush excoriated his predecessor for launching wars without an exit strategy. In 2008 he leaves his _20_ a war that has already lasted for years longer than Americas _21_ in World War II, with no exit in sight. Bush got elected warning against using U.S. troops for nation-bu

Then once in office, he promised to bring democracy to the entire Middle East and ended up destroying Iraq as a nation in the name of saving it.Bush leaves the stage still justifying his Iraq disaster on the _22_ that prewar intelligence s
45、howed that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. He acknowledges that this intelligence was wrong but maintains he relied on it in good _23_. Who cares? What matters is whether there were WMD, not how sincerely he believed there were. WMD were how he justified the war. How do you explain t
46、o families of the war dead why a war must go on for years after even the man who started it thinks starting it was based on a mistake?The current economic calamity was a bolt from the blue to many who should have known better, but only one of them had been in _24_ for the previous eight years. Only
47、one spent much of that time _25_ about how swell everything was, thanks to him. Many shared the heedless assumption that there was no limit on how much government or individuals could borrow, but only one turned record surpluses into record _26_. And only one lectured us, Reagan-style, about burdensome government and then, almost casually, _27_ governments role in the economy more than any President since F.D.R.: taking over banks and _28_ out the auto companies.O.K., but didnt he do anything right? Well, he came up with serious money to treat AIDS and _29_ in Africa. He used the bully pulpit
