...Harris is best known for his barn-burning 2004 attack on religion, The End of Faith, which spent 33 weeks on the New York Times best-seller List. The book's sequel, Letter to a Christian Nation also came out in editions totalling hundreds of thousands. Last Monday, however, the combative Californian produced a shorter (seven pages) and seemingly calmer publication that will be a hit if it reaches 10,000 readers: "Functional Neuroimaging of Belief, Disbelief and Uncertainty." It appears in the respected journal Annals of Neurology. And Harris, 40, claims it has little if any connection...
...Crying for the Past Yet much is riding on this election. Not only must it reintroduce a semblance of democracy after 15 months of flat-footed military rule, it must also restore the Thai people's faith in a political system that generated so much division and bitterness that the military was emboldened to send in its tanks. Sadly, restoring that faith is looking like a dim prospect.

...massacre's 70th anniversary.

"It can also reflect on how one's own side may be basing conclusions on something other than hard data." Iris Chang may have begun the truth-finding process when, in an effort to explore her own Chinese identity, she wrote The Rape of Nanking. I'm hoping...
...this charge that Romney will say and do anything to get elected ignores the fact that he never has flip-flopped on his supposedly largest liability: his Mormon faith. Attacks on his religious beliefs and news of evangelicals declaring their opposition to Mormonism haven’t caused Romney to convert. Rather, he declared in his speech, “Faith in America,” last week, “Some believe that such a confession of my faith will sink my candidacy. If they are right, so be it.” With the Iowa caucuses (where voters...
