Given that track record, the U.S. and Israel are justifiably reluctant to deal with Hamas. But failing to do so risks strengthening the organization's radical voices. That's why it's time for a different approach--one that can protect Israel's interests while still reaching out to forces within Hamas that might steer Gaza in a more constructive direction. True, Hamas refuses to recognize Israel, but there are some signs that it sees compromise to be in its self-interest. Hamas has reason to avoid provoking Israel--in part because, as Major General Giora Eiland, retired head...
...survey of the effects of hormone therapy in post-menopausal women. It was the WHI, back in 2002, that turned everything that doctors and patients had believed about the benefits of hormone therapy on its head. The federally funded trial revealed that estrogen and progestin after menopause did not protect women against heart disease, as doctors had previously thought, but in fact increased their risk of heart attack, stroke and breast cancer.

...safe return. Ironically, Danny's murderers were eventually found, tried and punished; although we can take muted pleasure in that fact, it does not really satisfy us. We can, as well, admire his widow carrying on, building a new life, which includes creation of a foundation that seeks to protect endangered journalists everywhere (some 250 of them have lost their lives in action since Pearl's death). But again that cannot quite compensate us for our disappointment in this earnest, well-made, consistently interesting chronicle of death we know to be foretold. A degree of guilt shadows that judgment...
