...kind as to fill out a survey on my stay in Pakistan? The previous week had been eventful, to say the least. I landed in Lahore on Thursday, Dec. 27. As I left the airport for my hotel, my cell phone pinged with an SMS from my wife: "Bhutto dead in Rawalpindi blast." The following few days were a bit of a blur, and then on New Year's Eve I fell sick with some intestinal bug that took two days to beat. "I'm not sure I'm the best person to help you," I told...
Harris guesses that if the anterior insula collaborates in prompting distaste for such disparate things as bad math, waterboarding and sour milk, it may also act when a religious believer recoils at the statement "God is dead."

They have given their lives while performing their duty...
...fund a long campaign from his own bank account, it doesn't seem all that foolish to stay in the race, no matter how bleak his prospects might seem today. In a year when a little known Baptist minister can come from nowhere to win Iowa, a left-for-dead septuagenarian can claw out a comeback win in New Hampshire, and when Hillary Clinton can begin the day fighting back rumors that she's dropping out the race and end it by delivering a victory speech - anything is possible. And Mitt Romney might just find those votes he's looking...
