I think the idea of having Segolene's picture to be just her face is to associate only her ideas with the woman, and put those ideas to the forefront.
Interesting, Nihous.... His name would seem to belie a German heritage. I don't think that "Ni-" is a French prefix for a name, but "Nie-" meaning lower in German is. And in French when the name "Hous" is adopted it would be spelled "House." So my guess is that this guy isn't a traditionalist Frenchman but comes from German immigrants from Westfalen or Lower Saxony where the name is spelled "Niehaus." Heck the guy might be related to a Niehaus family here in my hometown whose family comes from the same small town just north of Osnabrueck in Germany. How's that for a conspiracy theory?
