...pursues the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, Hillary Clinton has done her best to carve out an identity separate from that of her larger-than-life husband. But when she takes the stage Thursday night at the Ed Sullivan Theater for her seventh appearance on Late Night With David Letterman, Clinton, like virtually every media-savvy candidate these days, is simply following a trail blazed by Bill Clinton 15 years...
Such foot-dragging is dangerous for Indonesia and the rest of the world. As the WHO outlined in its annual World Health Report, released Thursday, the globe has grown so interconnected that open international cooperation is the only way to respond to infectious disease threats like avian flu.

Among the 30 organizations from which scientists were called in for independent analyses...
...turns out, the answer is no. Vietnamese officials revealed Thursday that the site is actually the work of a clever impostor. "The Prime Minister doesn't blog. He has too much other work to do," Dung's spokesman Nguyen Kinh Quoc told TIME. Separate blogs purportedly run by Manh, the Party leader, and President Nguyen Minh Triet, the official head of state, are also fakes. The government only became aware of the faux blogs this week, and vowed to track down the impersonators...
