...Uribe's frontal attacks play well in Colombia, where his popularity - consistently over 60% - is the envy of many other world leaders. But on the international front, especially in the United States, his rants fuel the concerns of many who doubt Uribe's commitment to the rule of law and his respect for an independent media and judiciary. Democrats in the U.S. Congress are withholding approval of a free trade agreement with Colombia until they see marked advances in human rights and the prosecution of paramilitary leaders.

...Defcon 2: Full-frontal attack. This is a significant escalation. Mitt Romney launched one against Rudy Giuliani in Iowa this past August: "If you look at lists compiled on Web sites of sanctuary cities [cities hospitable to illegal immigrants], New York is at the top of the list when Mayor Giuliani was mayor.

From there it is relayed to your memory center, where it is identified by comparison with every other face you've ever seen. You must then summon the speech centers in your frontal lobes, which recruit your breath and muscles and at last allow you to utter the words...
...process of OCD but only one of several players. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and other scanning technologies have allowed researchers to peer deeper than ever into the OCD-tossed brain. In addition to the amygdala, there are three other anatomical hot spots involved in the disorder: the orbital frontal cortex, the caudate nucleus and the thalamus--the first two seated high in the brain, the third lying deeper within...
