...data support what other studies have been documenting in recent years - that although bariatric surgery, like any surgery, is invasive and risky, it's becoming safer. In 2004, a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that the risk of death from gastric bypass was 0.5% (the risk of dying within 90 days after a hip replacement is about 0.3%), and a government analysis revealed that complication rates, particularly infections, from bariatric surgery had declined 21% between...

Wilkinson '65.

Islamic hard liners, former warlords and corrupt officials, they explain, are behind an increasingly harsh assault on press freedom - one of the country's key post-Taliban achievements - that has spawned an increasing amount of self-censorship. A recent report by the Afghan Independent Journalists' Association said that over the past year, 25 journalists were arrested, 24 were beaten or intimidated by public officials, 22 received death threats and four outlets were forced to close. Rahimullah Samandar, head of the association, says religion, official graft and certain issues related...
