...Weisskopf's tale of losing a hand in Iraq and his struggle to understand his ordeal was one of the most touching pieces of journalism I have read in many years. In the troubled Middle East, such a story is all too familiar. People are too eager to enter into wars that solve no problems, and the results are devastating. Let's hope that the world's problem solvers can lead us to a different, peaceful path for the future of this planet and its people. Lillian Cohen Kfar Monash, Israel Hurricane Hugo Hugo Chavez's speech...
Luscombe is right on target about who is to blame for malnourished fashion models: the designers. But the danger to women goes far beyond the fashion industry. As a psychologist, I am seeing an alarming number of young women who enter my office hating their bodies and starving themselves to achieve an unattainable ideal.

This June, there’s one important piece of paper that many of the international students of Harvard’s Class of 2007 will not be graduating with: an H-1B visa. As Harvard’s graduates prepare to enter the workforce, for the 10 percent that come from oversees, a diploma will not be enough; they need an H-1B visa to grant them permission to stay and use their degree to perform high-skill jobs in the United States. While their peers look forward to their month of freedom before heading to Wall Street, international...
...work as a fiercely independent chronicler of the brutal conflict in the North Caucasus was evident during the 2002 hostage debacle when Chechen terrorists seized a Moscow theater and hundreds of people inside. Politkovskaya had been one of the very few people allowed by the Chechen group to enter the theater to negotiate on behalf of the hostages. During the Beslan School hostage crisis in 2004, Politkovskaya was badly poisoned (by state agents, she alleged), just as she was on the verge of brokering talks between senior Russian officials and Chechen separatist leaders to save the children. She barely survived...
