Europe's warning "In 1973, Jean Raspail published an extraordinary and prescient novel, 'The Camp of the Saints.' He imagined a flotilla of immigrants traveling ... to France. ... At first, Raspail was attacked as a racist. ... Now what Raspail feared has indeed seemingly come to pass, at least in Europe.

The commission reportedly used $23 million in tax dollars for advertisements supporting universal preschool while Reiner was collecting signatures to get his preschool initiative on the ballot. Schwarzenegger said there is only an "appearance" of a problem with Reiner, and he sees no reason to remove him at this point. The governor said it isn't right to dump Reiner without evidence of wrongdoing. The auditors are looking into the issue, the governor said, and Reiner is "innocent until proven guilty."
