Professor of Education Catherine Z. Elgin, a specialist in theories of knowledge, says that reality is based on what occurs independently of people and their reactions to these occurrences. But she says there is no way to prove that we do not currently exist in a “Matrix”-like reality, hooked up to machines and submerged in some foreign...

China and South Korea had cut off most high-level contacts with Japan to protest former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's visits...
This article is awfully casual about accusing others of "irresponsibility." It is common for ideas in research to begin with incomplete statistical observations that inspire National Science Foundation- or Institutes of Medicine-sanctioned studies to prove or disprove the underlying larger claim.

And suppose this theory of autism turns out to be true. Should those with suspicions remain silent, offering no caution to parents of young children...
