...sense, made investigators' jobs more difficult. When the U.S. decided to bomb the camps, they were a big fat target; now American and allied forces have to hunt down terrorists, not by the score, but one or two at a time. Hence the conclusion of Steven Simon, who worked on counterterrorism in the Clinton White House: "On the whole, they're better off without Afghanistan. They now have total global mobility." Probably thousands of al-Qaeda sympathizers escaped the bombing in Afghanistan and made their way back to their home countries, traveling to Europe through Iran and Turkey...

"Bush has locked the U.S. into an earlier stage of technology, and researchers from other countries are going to use much more useful stem-cell lines," says Simon Best, vice chairman of the Bioindustry Association in the U.K. and chairman of the U.S. Biotechnology Industry Organization's Bioethics Committee. While U.S. companies enjoyed an early lead in stem-cell research and the U.S. can clearly outstrip smaller countries in government and private funding, American scientists now find themselves being...
...Simon Rattle wields his baton more skillfully than his tongue. A recent interview with the long-reigning wunderkind of classical music - a conversation held in English, translated into German and published in Die Zeit, then retranslated back into English by the British press - came off like a tirade against Brit Art stars Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin. ("Much of this English, very biographically-oriented art is bull___.") "I opened the papers and thought, 'I said what?'" he recalls. "It's embarrassing, because it's not what I meant and it's certainly not what I think." Let's hope...
