Christopher Cox scoffs at suggestions, by Democrats on his committee and members of the intelligence community, that the report bearing his name is "worst-case." He's got a worst-case scenario for you: World War III -- or at the very least, Cold...
...shame Stanley Kubrick isn't alive to make "Dr. Strangelove 2: How I Learned to Stop Engaging and Love the Cold War." Half a century after the freeze began with two big bangs and a decade after it ended with a long Russian whimper, could America really be headed back to its bomb shelters?

After all, if people are willing to bare their innermost feelings to a newfound love online, why not discuss deep-seated anxieties that way as well? Some 150 counselors listed on the website metanoia.org/imhs offer online therapy by videoconferencing, e-mail or live chat. Skeptics say the lack of nonverbal cues makes...
