...Five years ago, Liu might well have been among them. Breast cancer is the most lethal form of cancer for women in the world. An estimated 1 million cases will be identified this year, and about 500,000 new and existing patients will die from the disease. In the U.S., breast cancer will be diagnosed in 1 in 8 women...
...they don't represent an existential threat to the U.S. Ahmadinejad commands no legions-not even the Hizballah forces in Lebanon that attacked Israel in the summer of 2006-and if Podhoretz doesn't know that, he should. Taking Ahmadinejad literally, as the neoconservatives do, is being disingenuous with lethal intent. It gives license to a conga line of politicians-especially Republicans running for ?President-to strut their stuff by jumping on Ahmadinejad and Columbia University and liberals in general. Mitt Romney runs an ad in which he brags that he denied the milquetoast reformer Khatami a police escort...

...contracted the disease in Massachusetts. Despite the recent cases, and the discovery earlier this month of infected mosquito populations just north of Mount Auburn Cemetery, the University’s West Nile Virus Task Force does not consider it an immediate threat.

Lipson said that the development should not dramatically raise concerns about...
...visited Iraq on Labor Day was al-Asad air base in Anbar province; a year ago, a military-intelligence report said the province had been "lost" to the jihadis. Now AQI seems to have been kicked out of Anbar, pushed back from Baghdad, forced to carry out its most lethal attacks on the northern periphery of the country. It was feared that the weeks before Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker made their September reports to Congress would be dominated by the insurgency's State of Iraq report: spectacular bombings, perhaps even a Tet-style offensive. But-fingers crossed...
