No excuses for the 'great seducer'

The raunchy escapades of French super star Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who is accused of sexually assaulting a Manhattan maid, make the Jersey Shore decadence look like the cast of Sesame Street.
How could a guy with all that baggage, who is nicknamed “The Great Seducer,” ever been seriously considered a candidate for the French presidency? The French media should have been working to expose one of the world’s most powerful predators instead of doing investigative reporting on whether First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy was pregnant.
Even before “DSK,” as he’s known, was charged with sexually assaulting a maid in his $3,000-a-night hotel, it was well-known the ex-chief of the International Monetary Fund was a womanizer, whose antics smelled a lot like what we call “sexual harassment” in America. And it was the worst kind of harassment, by a person in a high place against the powerless.May 26 through June 2

Like a shock wave, the news spread through Greenwich that the seemingly unthinkable had happened.
Sid Freund was leaving.
One of the most visible figures in town as the superintendent of schools, Dr. Freund was entrusted as the captain of the ship that is our children’s public school education. The importance of this job cannot be overestimated, and to say that people were left dumbfounded by his sudden resignation is putting it mildly. The announcement seemed to come out of nowhere and the immediate aftermath has been troubling.Kitchen tour supports local scholarships
