...about the apparent increase in estimated prevalence of autism spectrum disorders," said Ileana Arias of the CDC. "However, we urge extreme caution in interpreting this change. An increase in diagnosis does not necessarily mean that more children actually have ASD.

Iran had consistently warned before the talks that it was not willing to negotiate over its nuclear "rights," that is, the development of the full nuclear fuel cycle for energy purposes. The U.S. and its European allies have sought to persuade Iran to renounce the right to enrich uranium, because that capacity could be converted to create weapons materiel. And Washington has demanded that Iran abide by U.N. Security Council resolutions ordering...
