Research into human decision-making has shown that if people feel as though they can influence their destiny, they tend to make smarter choices. But if authorities...
...Afghanistan, the Taliban will kill me," said Nasser Khan, 25, who fled last year after his parents and two brothers were killed in a raid on their family home. Stuck in France for nearly eight months, Khan describes feeling increasingly jittery and disoriented. "I have headaches. My family is gone.
