...unexpected is stressful. And researchers have long suspected that stress harms the body. But partly because individual reactions to stress are so variable, solid clinical evidence linking emotions to actual heart attacks and other coronary disease has been elusive. But that's changing. New studies suggest that both chronic strain at work and bad relationships put people at a markedly increased risk of heart trouble. As a result, researchers are calling more insistently for doctors to include the diagnosis and treatment of stress in routine care for patients with heart conditions and for those at risk.

The numbers are striking: while Egypt and Algeria suffer from chronic shortages, Tunisia has a 15% surplus of housing, thanks to massive government construction programs.

Other key initiatives of Singh's are also in trouble: A ban on child labor looks toothless one year on, while a scheme to provide every household in India with at least 100 days of work has been dogged by chronic mismanagement and charges of graft. If such bread-and-butter initiatives can falter, then Singh - hailed as India's great liberalizer when he was finance chief in 1991 - can forget about banking reform or trimming India's bloated, corruption-tainted bureaucracy...
