...that much cash, in pounds sterling. First, the crooks needed to reduce the bulk of their haul, because less is more when it comes to transport and security. If the entire $97 million had been, conveniently, in Britain's largest ?50 ($92) notes, the robbers would have had to cope with 1.06 million pieces of paper, weighing over 500 kg and stacking over 40 storeys high. As it turns out, the cache included tens and twenties, which multiplies the bulk by three or four or five. Sure, the robbers have bragging rights - this was Britain's biggest ever heist...
...India needs to maintain this stance: While the death of 200 civilians is a terrible, terrible tragedy, it represents a fraction of the lives lost to earthquakes, tsunamis, rains, floods, typhoons, and even daily accidents while using public transport. How does Bombay, and indeed the rest of India, constantly cope with its many natural and man-made disasters? By maintaining a sense of historical proportion, and not overreacting to the situation.

The Administration is paying the bill every day as it tries to cope with other crises. Pursuing the forward-leaning foreign policy envisioned in the Bush Doctrine is nearly impossible at a time when the U.S. is trying to figure out how to extricate itself from Iraq. Around the world, both the U.S.'s friends and its adversaries are taking note--and in many cases, taking advantage...
...tendency for even modest weight gains to trigger diabetes is most likely the genetic legacy from ancestors who had to cope with cruel cycles of feast and famine. Under such conditions, survival favored those genetically blessed with a highly efficient ability to squirrel away calories during times of plenty by breaking food down into glucose, then storing it as fat. Now surrounded by a constant source of food and living a less active lifestyle, people born with that genetic pedigree are perfectly primed for diabetes. "It's not simply that Western food is causing diabetes but that different body types...
