...greatest threat was the Taliban - a remarkable admission for a country that has long considered India its most dangerous neighbor. Indian authorities, meanwhile, may soon start talks with the Hurriyat separatists. But every gesture of reconciliation - most recently, meetings between top diplomats on the sidelines of the U.N.

...from the families of the 25 people who died and the 500 or so who were partly paralyzed by Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). Only one person died of the 1976 swine flu.

...significant part of Kings of Leon's appeal is that the band never lets on whether it's working a con. The Kings' story is true, but with their curious facial hair, dolorous gazes and tattered designer clothes, the Followills look like Confederate soldiers under the command of General Calvin Klein. This would suggest a con. At the same time, they're capable of songs that really do make them sound like savants. The best of these is "Taper Jean Girl," from 2005's Aha Shake Heartbreak.
