...Muslim radicalization in Europe. Andrew Onoro Birmingham, England I am a U.S. citizen who has resided in Spain for more than 30 years. I retain my American values, but I have totally immersed myself in Spanish society and thoroughly enjoy living here. I have seen others - French, German, British, Romanian - doing the same. But I have yet to see Muslims integrating into the European society that they have chosen to call home. My suggestion is to take the British stance: it is time to begin deporting immigrants who propagate terrorism or incite violence. Russell W. MacDonald Huelva, Spain Your story...
...into a French-German dictionary. The word it pointed to - dada - has many meanings: "hobbyhorse" in French, "cube" in certain Italian dialects and "yes, yes" in Slavic languages. That night, they agreed on a name but continued to dispute what the word - and the movement - signified. Tristan Tzara, a Romanian poet and the author of the Dada Manifesto of 1918, came up with what may be the only accurate definition: "Dada means nothing."

...Experts now fear the virus is inexorably winging its way toward Europe. Turkish authorities quickly imposed a quarantine around the infected farm, culling 8,600 birds. But another H5N1 outbreak hit Romania's Danube delta wetlands, across the Black Sea from Turkey. In the village of Ceamurlia de Jos, Romanians began killing 50,000 fowl. Local farmers wept as they watched their livelihoods destroyed. Romanian poultry products and Turkish live birds were immediately banned by the European Union, as governments sought to allay fears that a pandemic was imminent. E.U. officials emphasized that keeping domestic and wild birds apart...
...course, it will be hard to get Kim to undertake such reforms. The Romanian example undoubtedly weighs on him: Kim would certainly fear suffering the same bitter fate that Ceausescu experienced if he unleashes reforms he cannot control. That is why any effort to promote structural reform requires not just major carrots if Pyongyang cooperates, but sticks, particularly the credible threat of multilateral economic sanctions, if it does not. The status quo must be made unsustainable. Kim must be forced to choose cooperation or risk a confrontation that would impose an economic noose around his country's neck. He must...
