...patch all day anymore. Until now, doctors have recommended that children with lazy eye, or amblyopia, wear a patch over the good eye for six hours a day to help strengthen the weaker one. That prescription often meant that kids had to wear their patches at school and suffer the taunts of classmates. But in the May issue of the Archives of Ophthalmology, researchers report that the eye patch effectively treated moderate amblyopia in 189 children whether it was worn for six hours a day or only two. After four months, more than 75% of kids in both groups could...
Journalism may worship truth, but it is built on trust, and honest editors will admit, as Raines has, that a determined and creative liar is hard to catch. The Times will remember this catastrophe for a long time but will, in all likelihood, not suffer much for it. Blair's suffering, however, may have just begun.

Firms that rely heavily on sales in Europe will remain weak with the Continental economy.

And they are likely to suffer a lot more, since the years have not diminished Jakarta's apparent conviction that the Aceh issue calls for a military solution, not a political one. Nor, after a five-month pause, have the rebels lost their taste for battle. Invited by Libyan-trained GAM commander Darwis Jeunib to a remote village in Biruen district in the north, I see a few dozen of some 1,000 soldiers he claims to lead...
...extorting funds from civilians and committing scores of their own atrocities. GAM has about 5,000 troops, but few analysts believe the military can deliver the decisive blow top generals are predicting. All that's certain, sighs Jones, "is that the ordinary Acehnese will be the ones to suffer most. It's going to be a terrible, bloody mess...
