...keeping dentistry strong during this recession? Sure, tooth-grinding and nervous eating habits - I'm going to chomp on chocolate as an escape - may be driving traffic to the drill. But economic forces are more likely to be responsible. Dentists note that patients who receive limited or no insurance tend to skip cleanings and other dental maintenance during tough times as they look to save a few bucks. But dentists pick up even more revenue later on. Patients who've skipped checkups now have achy teeth and have no choice but to undergo a more expensive procedure. "It's human...
...Many nations, especially here in the U.S., tend to view France with the out-dated, 40 year-old perception that it hasn't faced its past and learned hard lessons from it," says Robert Paxton, professor emeritus at Columbia University and an acclaimed expert on fascism and Vichy France. "It has done deep research, held trials, updated text books, and even uncovered troubling wartime information on public figures - late President François Mitterrand for one. I'd like school teachers around the U.S. to be able to teach American responsibility for slavery and the mistreatment of Native Americans...

While business on the lover’s holiday seems not to have slumped, the local restaurant industry hasn’t dodged the effects of a declining economy, as diners have cut back on discretionary spending.

...While the intersection of two sonar-equipped nuclear submarines in a vast ocean may seem an unlikely event even without communication, there are environmental anomalies in the Atlantic that make a collision more likely, according to Ferguson. Submarines on a deterrent mission, for instance, tend to congregate in places where they are unlikely to be found by other submarines and spy planes. "There are oceanographic factors in which you can be on either side of an ocean front where the temperature is slightly different on your side than the others," says Ferguson. "Where the gulf stream comes across the Atlantic...
