...anti-immigrant movements are flourishing in places like Belgium, Britain, Germany and Italy. Last month, a group of ultranationalist M.E.P.s finally gathered enough members to create a formal caucus, giving them more political clout and making them eligible for E.U. funding. So immigration poses a two-part challenge for Europe: how to bring in the people it needs and how to do so without feeding the hysteria...
...medical school in North America. It has been extraordinarily successful in shooting down some of the most cherished beliefs in health care, like the idea that long-term hormone-replacement therapy would help prevent heart disease in women. And it has clearly saved lives. Many doctors used to give anti-arrhythmia drugs to everyone who experienced irregular heartbeats after a heart attack because severely irregular beats could rapidly prove fatal.

Where in the world is Moqtada al-Sadr? He hasn't been seen in public in several weeks, and he has not kept up his usual practice of leading Friday prayers at the Great Mosque in Kufa. Now U.S. officials are claiming the firebrand anti-American cleric fled to Iran two or three weeks ago, along with several commanders of his dreaded Mahdi Army militia. But senior Sadr officials in Baghdad have dismissed those claims as propaganda, and maintain he is still in his Najaf headquarters...
