(Newser) – Dominique Strauss-Kahn is expected to leave prison today—but only if he finds a place to sleep first, NBC New York reports. His wife, Anne Sinclair, is scrambling to find a New York apartment for his home-confinement, after her initial rental in Manhattan didn’t work out, said an insider. As it stands, Strauss-Kahn looks set to depart Rikers Island today, but “no one will be released until all the conditions have been satisfied,” said the judge in his case.

(NEWSER) - The arrest of Dominique Strauss-Kahn on sexual assault charges initially dazed the French. But by day three, their focus returned to a more familiar place—America bashing. "Today, thanks to Strauss-Kahn, the French who choose to criticize the US have a fresh reason to shake their heads and point fingers at the country they love to hate," writes Kim Willsher in the LA Times .
