...Candidates, all of them, are suffering delusions. Given the frantic tenor of campaigning, it might appear as though people actually care about the council. But they do not. Just behold how few contenders there were for UC representative spots this September, at a time when discontent was rife. One recent town-hall meeting, called to discuss the supposedly contentious issue of the UC’s failure on the Wyclef Jean concert, drew only two undergrads unaffiliated with the council.Nevertheless, in the midst of the campaign have come droves of promises for town-hall meetings, presidential and vice-presidential office...
...Suspicions are rife, but proof still lacking, that some of the more than 300 landings in Europe by aircraft linked with the CIA since 9/11 were flights "rendering" suspected al-Qaeda terrorists to countries where torture loosens tongues.

...year. But the honeymoon is over. Even doctors who swear by SSRIs and newer variants concede that 1-2% of patients have a severe negative reaction to these drugs. That's a small percentage. But it's a small percentage of a very large number. Intractable misery is rife, it seems: in Australia last year, 12 million prescriptions for antidepressants were dispensed through the federal government's Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (up from 8.2 million in 1998), a figure equating to more than a million users. Do the math, says Sydney forensic psychiatrist Yolande Lucire: if only 1% of users suffer...
