...Beyoncé can’t get out in a leotard and spread her legs for the “Single Ladies” dance as herself—it’s her alter ego “Sasha Fierce” who’s hitting the stage. Recently I heard about a Swedish parliament member who went on an all-expenses-paid trip to the south of Spain. He claimed it wasn’t him as a politician accepting gratuities to fund the little booze cruise, but rather his alter ego, a drag queen named Ursula...
...Anderson study highlights the combined effect of three major factors in improving breast-cancer survival: age, type of tumor and stage of cancer. Taken together, this suite of criteria makes sense, says Bedrosian. Women with estrogen-positive cancers can be treated with hormone-therapy drugs like tamoxifen or, if they are postmenopausal, the new aromatase inhibitors, which block the production of cancer-enhancing estrogen in the body. Women whose tumors lack the estrogen receptor, however, cannot take advantage of these drugs, since their cancers are not as dependent on estrogen for fuel. As a result, they have a lower survival...

McCarthy vows to continue her fight, spreading her truth, for "the rest of my life?... I would love to be on Stage 19, yukking it up as a Hollywood actress, but how could I not step up here and be the voice? And I'll continue to be the voice." It is impossible to overlook the larger and direct dangers inherent in her position on vaccines. Yet it is equally difficult to ignore the emotional core of what she is saying: Listen to parents. If doctors won't, then McCarthy will. While I was reporting this story, I talked...
...European Union-inspired reforms to pave the way for civilian courts to try military staff. The government has also backed a two-year court investigation into allegations that a bizarre alliance of military men, mafia bosses and secularists sought to create social upheaval by plotting to plant bombs and stage assassinations - all as a pretext for military intervention. Monday's arrests mark the latest step in these efforts - never before have so many military officers been rounded up by civilian prosecutors, let alone such high-ranking ones...
