In a state of paralysis, Iran's behavior is primarily driven by two forces: bureaucratic inertia and a willingness to take only those decisions that are deemed low-risk within Iran's internal political context. That does not include compromise with Washington and the International Atomic Energy Agency on the nuclear issue. From the Iran-Contra scandal onwards, Iran's history is ripe with examples of Iranian politicians losing their careers after trying to create an opening to the U.S. Iran...

As cell phones make and take calls, they emit low-level radio-frequency (RF) radiation. Stronger than FM radio signals, these RF waves are still a billionth the intensity of known carcinogenic radiation like X-rays. (See pictures from an X-ray studio...

The Tim Burton-Johnny Depp effort is also a war movie, at least partly, but with...
...residents of the U.K., dealing with climate change means accepting a higher price on everything from gasoline to electricity. In crowded, low-lying Bangladesh, it means trying to avoid catastrophic flooding. Atique Chowdhury, Give Your Vote's organizer in Dhaka, is a self-described climate refugee, a former resident of an island near the Bay of Bengal that has been almost completely abandoned because of rising sea levels. "As a major emitter of carbon dioxide, the U.K. must take the responsibility," he says. But developing nations still want a say on how that's done. (See pictures of British soldiers...
