...something intrinsic to us, like our muscles-and yet it's also, like muscle, something we can train and learn, quantifiably, to build up. In Happiness, Matthieu Ricard takes us through all the recent empirical science that shows how contentment can be both deepened and assessed (those who test high for hopefulness can endure the pain of freezing water twice as easily as those who don't). But, more valuably-in part by drawing on friends and philosophers from Europe and Asia-he shows us, in practical ways, how we can make our lives more fulfilling. Ricard started...
...just in Iraq that you can see the limits of American power, though that fiasco has surely emboldened others in the neighborhood?the President of Iran, for one?to test just how much clout the U.S. really has. There's Russia's comeback, fueled by high energy prices, reminding its neighbors that it has capabilities that they do not have. There's North Korea, exploding a nuclear device after being told the U.S. would tolerate no such thing, in what has to rank as one of the most extraordinary pieces of nose thumbing the modern world has seen.

...Harvard women’s basketball team is looking for holiday cheer on its road trip this weekend, it shouldn’t expect a welcoming host in the Wisconsin Badgers.

And that 8% among county leaders - i.e., the people who really take this stuff seriously and drag people out to the precinct caucuses - sure seems dire. It may just be that Clinton hasn't been out to Iowa recently, hasn't yet given the solipsistic cornheads the full-frontal embrace they demand of contenders. Or it may be something a bit more chronic: "You hear...
...Today, however, may prove to be his toughest test. After a painstaking, three-year, $8 million investigation, the former head of Scotland Yard issued an 832-page report confirming what common sense and all previous inquiries had suggested: that Diana, Princess of Wales, was killed in a Paris car accident because her chauffeur was drunk and speeding as he tried to outrace paparazzi on motorbikes. The Queen didn't order it, nor the CIA, nor MI6 or MI5 or anyone else - it was simply tragic bad luck...
