...more expensive. You'd expect the killer design of the Audi R-8, for instance, to elicit some oohs and aahs, and it doesn't disappoint; it's a dazzler. The Bentley Continental Supersports is another jaw dropper that can motor along at 200 m.p.h., if you call that motoring. But the Audi goes for $113,000; the Bentley costs $100,000 more. (See pictures of GM's 2010 lineup, including the Camaro...
...reasons people get away with so much lying, your research suggests, is that we are all essentially dupes. Why do we believe so many lies? This is what I call the liar's advantage. We are not very good at detecting deception in other people. When we are trying to detect honesty, we look at the wrong kinds of nonverbal behaviors, and we misinterpret them. The problem is that there is no direct correlation between someone's nonverbal behavior and their honesty. "Shiftiness" could also be the result of being nervous, angry, distracted or sad. Even trained interrogators [aren...
...Other politicians have been moved to more immediate action. The Schall case has prompted some to call for a ban against the NPD, with the Interior Minister of Bavaria, Joachim Herrmann, announcing on Aug. 15 that he would launch a bid next year to ban the party. The federal government had already tried to ban the NPD in 2003, saying its far-right ideology breached Germany's constitution and strict anti-Nazi laws.

Mullah Omar, the elusive one-eyed founder of the Taliban, has reiterated his call to disrupt the election. Responding to overtures from the government for an election cease-fire, Taliban spokesman Qari Yousuf Ahmadi said via e-mail, "We don't feel it is important to have contact with the slavish and corrupt administration, and we don't need them to contact us." He pledged that the election "will be sabotaged in everywhere possible." On Aug. 16, three rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) were fired into Kandahar city, killing a young girl and injuring four children. The following evenings, small-arms...
...uses the annoying supermarket-rag technique of quoting "Madoff insiders" for banal details, such as that Madoff liked expensive suits, in order to raise the level of suspense. But Oppenheimer can be good at the juicy quote too. One victim told him, "What were we going to do--call up Bernie and tell him, 'God, I'm making too much money. What's going on?'" Or the small detail. If you're in the market for a description of Madoff's opulent walk-in closet or the tidbit that his mother wouldn't buy him Keds, then Oppenheimer is your...
