...Regime-change, of course, is not an easy policy option. The U.S. military has concluded that hundreds of thousands of Koreans on both sides of the border and thousands of Americans might die in a direct military confrontation, and the only effective non-military forms of pressure - such as economic strangulation - require China's active cooperation, as the supplier of the bulk of North Korea's energy and much of its food. But as much as China fears that a nuclear-armed North Korea might prompt Beijing's key regional competitor, Japan, to go nuclear, it may currently fear...
...learn most about power when we lose it and are left eating cereal by candlelight on the front stoop. Or helping the waiter and the hairdresser and the deaf man direct traffic at the intersection.

Ten of the names on the list, a copy of which was acquired by TIME, are those of Saddam's cousins. Last week members of the Fedayeen in Tikrit went after another local man who had sympathized with Saddam before the war but had lately turned...
This new wave of no-guilt snacks has direct links to the efforts of Dr. Robert Atkins, whose get-thin-quick regimen became famous in the '70s for letting dieters have their steak and eat it too. Atkins controverted conventional dietary wisdom by asserting that eating fatty foods like bacon wasn't what caused weight gain. The real culprit, he said, was carbohydrates--the sugar and starch that are especially abundant in junk food. An estimated 25 million dieters have tried to follow his edict that if deprived of carbs as a source of energy, the body will burn...
