...international forces intervening in bloody, brutal domestic conflicts - they think of Chechnya, for example. So the principle of intervention was unacceptable. But NATO's show of force was also seen by the Russians as aimed at them, to show off Western military capability in the face of Russian military decay...
...away tooth decay? Well, maybe, if the drink is tea, scientists reported at last week's meeting of the American Society for Microbiology. In a preliminary study--financed by the tea industry--volunteers swished either black tea or lukewarm water in their mouth. An analysis of their saliva showed that tea inhibits the growth of tooth-decaying bacteria and reduces their tendency to form sticky clumps. In addition, tea drinkers' saliva contains less enamel-eroding acid. Does that translate into fewer cavities? Probably. In previous clinical trials, green tea was shown to prevent cavities, and these new findings lead researchers...
...worth more than $25 million. Liens were filed against this property when his firm went bust in the early 1990s. Obara continued to frequent the house up until his arrest, letting it slide, like some Dorian Gray portrait of Japan's national psyche, into a state of advanced decay, with rust flaking off the exterior ironwork and bricks crumbling from the walls. A Maserati, a Bentley and an early 1960s Aston Martin are parked in the yard. The cars have flat tires. There is trash everywhere. Keeping watch by a side door is a life-size statue of a German...

French works like a caricaturist, exaggerating the grotesqueries, and simplifying everything else. Her people are moon-faced, big-eyed creatures, often children, innocent until introduced to a world of cruelty or decay. She uses a variety of drawing techniques, from sharp pen lines that outline every dangling ligament, to softly shaded graphite works which give each popping vein a three-dimensional quality...
...Japan's economy needs a sharper, deeper recession before it can pull out of its current, shallow one. Should Koizumi defy the odds and prove a wild success, a period of creative destruction in Japan could extend and deepen the current global slump. Yet after a decade of slow decay, it is no time to be squeamish about bleeding Japan in order to save...
