Support for the idea that soy products protect against breast cancer comes mainly from epidemiological studies in Asia, where people have routinely been eating soy for thousands of years and where women have markedly lower rates of breast cancer than in the U.S. But whether that's due to soy remains uncertain. "The cultures are just so different in so many ways, in diet and other lifestyle factors," says Mark Messina, a Port Townsend, Wash., nutritionist and an expert on soy.

...Pyongyang says it needs nukes to protect itself from American warmongers. But its defensive weapon of choice is destabilizing to Asia. It risks touching off an arms race as technologically advanced countries, including Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, hasten to build nuclear equalizers of their own. Pyongyang is under immense pressure to deal, and a look around the region offers a snapshot of how stressful life will be for the Kim regime if this week's talks founder. Russia, an old cold war ally, is currently staging a massive military exercise near the North Korean border, together with...
