...quick-fix fiction has won Keret plaudits and fame. Missing Kissinger, his breakthrough book, came out in 1994 (published in the U.K. and the U.S. this March, most of the stories here appear for the first time in English). It was chosen as one of the 50 most important works in Hebrew by the daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, and is on the Israeli high school syllabus. Keret now pens caustic satirical sketches for Israeli TV, has published a series of comic books and won Israel's equivalent of a Best Picture Oscar for Skin Deep, a movie he co-directed...
...little to do with what I was learning, and everything to do with how it was taught, an error of method, not of content.

Science editor Jeffrey Kluger, with reporting from the U.S., Asia and elsewhere, writes about what's going on in the labs, in the boardrooms, in Congress, state capitols and city halls...

Eli Roth, director of Hostel, an R-rated film about a European backpacking trip gone horribly wrong, knows that kids under 18 are seeing his films. He thinks they should be 15 or 16 to see the Hostel sequel, due out in June. "Kids that age have seen enough TV and real-life violence by then that they understand the difference," he says. "You can turn on Fox at 9 p.m. and see someone drilling into someone's head [on the series...
...government officials make worried pronouncements about this very predicament from time to time. But they usually stop short of apocalypse. "There are a lot of people who get the analysis of the situation correct, but then they say the U.S. economy is very resilient and if we just fix a few structural flaws we'll be fine," explains Empire of Debt co-author Wiggin. "My view is that generally it takes a crisis to get people...
