...study in the latest issue of the British Medical Journal found that modern thin-faced titanium golf clubs produce a noise loud enough to damage the sensitive hairs of the inner ear. Provocatively titled "Is Golf Bad for Your Hearing?" the study focused on the case of a 55-year-old man who developed tinnitus and hearing loss in his right ear after playing golf three days a week for 18 months with a thin-faced titanium driver, the King Cobra LD. After ruling out age-induced hearing loss and damage from exposure to other loud noises, the patient...
...article should be than an American newspaper does. Reading a piece in The Times of India (the world’s top-selling English language broadsheet, with a circulation of two and a half million) is like listening to a very informed, very opinionated friend chattering into your ear. Reporting is a chummy business—and a biased one.

"For now, all other questions are secondary to the issue of restoring peace...
...Bush's face. Among the hideous 9/11 images better erased from the memory is the one when Dubya is first told. He is sitting in a little straight chair surrounded by children at the school he is visiting. An aide comes over and whispers the foul facts in his ear. His face registers bafflement, incomprehension, terror, helplessness. Klein has it "forlorn." Yes. In an instant the most powerful man in the world sitting in a little chair has learned the world will never be the same again because there are people in it willing to do what they had just...
