...trying to get people to think of doctors in a less clinical, more human way, and to recognize that there are emotions on both sides contributing to the successes and failures. Absolutely. I think one of the great things about House is that often in solving the problem, it's something in his real life that triggers a thought about his patient. I think fundamentally what doctors and patients both have to remember is that the diagnosis process is a collaboration between two experts: the doctor, who is an expert on the body and disease in general, and the patient...
Keeping Secrets Once again, a TIME article has fallen into the trap of depicting Israeli settlements as the main obstacle to peace in the Middle East [July 27].

PayScale's college ranking, in its second year, is drawing fire for its methodology. Median salaries for smaller institutions - like Black Hills - can be based on as few as 100 people.

In France the incident falls into a wider political debate over how to reconcile the country...
...what is the faithful but health-conscious Muslim woman to do? There are many schools of thought addressing this practical problem, and often the answer boils down to comfort vs. one's attachment to a particular sport. I am a runner by nature, keenly attached to the mind-slowing demand of setting a pace and the sensation of my feet first thudding and then gliding over pavement. But my discomfort threshold is ridiculously low, and while living in Iran I gave up running in favor of hiking (in mountainous seclusion, no one frets if you tie a bandanna over your...
