...controlling them: they were more dangerous on their own than within his circle of influence. He cherished loyalty, but he was never obsessed by it. After all, he used to say, "people act in their own interest." It was simply a fact of human nature, not a flaw or a defect. The flip side of being an optimist - and he is one - is trusting people too much. But Mandela recognized that the way to deal with those he didn't trust was to neutralize them with charm...
...preservation or decay, I'll just say that the wonder is Cattrall, who's managed to retain her erotic shine from her first film, the 1975 Rosebud, undiminished. The camera examines her face, tracks up her tanned legs, nuzzles or nestles in her cleavage, and can find no flaw, as if she were the prize creation of a CGI wizard. One scene - where Samantha, as a treat for Smith, lies nude on their dining room table, her body garnished with sushi - could be a chic photo essay in either Maxim or Gourmet.

...will increase public-health spending from the current 1% of India's GDP to up to 3% by 2010, but that's still just half the rate at which countries with comparable per capita incomes such as Senegal and Mongolia fund their health sectors. "What has been a fatal flaw in our approach is that we have gradually abandoned comprehensive health care and a public-health perspective for focused attention on selective diseases," Prime Minister Singh said at the April 2005 launch of the National Rural Health Mission. "We have grievously erred in the design of many of our health...
