...updates about someone’s life through pictures, posts, and video does not require physical proximity. Perhaps even more important than boosting our ability to multitask, the information revolution has bred a generation of remarkably good stalkers. In the extreme, this can become voyeuristic. An unrelenting barrage of Twitter updates threatens excessive intrusion for both readers and writers, challenging our most basic understanding of the concept of “privacy.” But for the most part, our online interactions are a natural response to a new and generational exhibitionism; after all, Facebook albums and Tweets...
...ends up following through with a wrongful-death suit against Smithfield Foods, it will most likely make legal history. No one has ever tried to hold a corporation responsible for the inadvertent creation of an infectious disease. Trunnell and his lawyer, Marc Rosenthal, do not claim that Smithfield purposely bred the virus, but rather that its Perote operation, which raises some 1 million pigs annually in close quarters, established the necessary conditions for the virus to arise.

"The myth of Republican competence and fiscal responsibility is shattered," a victim of the strategic and economic missteps of the Bush years, Carville gleefully notes. If Democrats play their cards right, he argues, they can dominate politics for the next four decades. The key? "To rebuild Americans' trust in government as a force of good." His excitability is infectious, if only to those...
...facets of this unique environment worth exploring.First, there is the overwhelming variety of sports in the American mainstream—everything from the familiar-yet-unfamiliar “soccer”, to the strange netherworlds of NASCAR racing, WWE wrestling, and lacrosse. For a British student born and bred on a diet of soccer, what is most startling is the strength of the predominant, so-called “Big Three” sports, and their compatibility with one another; baseball, the oldest organized sport in the nation, may be the national pastime, yet it cannot claim to hold...
