...substantive bill may be good enough for Geithner, who may have the most at stake. He survived the terrible start of his tenure at Treasury and managed to lead the Administration's efforts to stabilize the markets under constant attack. But he continues to struggle with the impression that he is soft on Wall Street, having come from the New York Fed (and having played a part in the crisis dealings with Lehman Brothers and AIG last fall), which is considered more sympathetic to the financial industry than some Washington overseers. To truly succeed as Treasury Secretary, insiders say, Geithner...
...Sinai researchers, who tested guinea pigs, found that the spread of the virus was most prevalent when the temperature reached a chilly 41°F (5°C); infections slowly decline as the mercury rises, before stopping altogether at 86°F (30°C). (Tropical countries, where fairly constant, high temperatures are prevalent, tend to have relatively even rates of infection all year long, without the sharp peaks and valleys seen in cooler countries.) It's also possible that the drier air in winter can dehydrate mucus in the nasal passages, lowering the body's natural defense against...

I had watched a coming-together, but it also made me sharply aware of a growing-apart, as the crowd that had so easily formed suddenly and easily dispersed. I was a little sad to return to my frigid office, with the constant background chatter of computer keys, and wrap up the event by writing my story. I wondered what it would be like to go to the moon instead, and look back on earth for that one day each century, to see the world eclipsed by the people coming out of their...
...inhabited much of the territory of modern-day Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. The consolidation and spread of Muscovy's regional power during the 14th century coincided with the Church leader's move to the principality. The patriarch's full title is Patriarch of Moscow and All of Rus, a constant reminder of how the Russian Orthodox Church's power extends beyond Russia's borders...
