...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. General Assembly in New York City - has been followed by tough talk and accusations from both sides...
...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.

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. Caleb is mostly mumbling Dixie, but with a live-wire sexuality and unpredictability...
