...found it interesting that your cover photo of Nidal Malik Hasan, who apparently killed in the name of God, labels him a possible terrorist [Nov. 23]. In Verbatim, Scott Roeder, who also killed in the name of God, is called the "accused shooter." What's the difference between them, again? I am less concerned about the thousand or so radical Muslims, who are highly monitored, than I am about the million or so unguarded radical "Christians" whose hatred is fanned daily by the rhetoric of Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter...
Perhaps the best way to convey the horror of what happened at Fort Hood would have been not to present the nearly life-size face of a killer on your cover but to share photos of his many victims...
...show that the test, which has many risks, may not necessarily lead to fewer deaths from the usually slow-growing cancer. The Senate health reform bill currently being debated would also rely on the task-force guidelines to determine what preventive medical services private insurers would be required to cover at no cost to patients. In a sign of how contentious evidence-based approaches may become, Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Kathleen Sebelius quickly distanced the Obama Administration from the new mammography advice. She said in a statement, "Our policies remain unchanged," and cast doubt on whether private...

...Bravo to Howard Chua-Eoan and Ishaan Tharoor for an excellent piece. They clearly have an understanding of the Filipino psyche. TIME should have featured Manny on the cover of all the issues like the Asian edition. Manny Pacquiao epitomizes the Filipino spirit and nature, namely the qualities of determination, resilience, simplicity, humility, generosity, love for family and faith in God. With the quote "Di ako bobo" (I'm not stupid!), I salute Manny for not succumbing to the national inferiority complex that came with the colonial spirit. And as a Filipino expatriate, I salute my countryman for being...
