...Hayden Henshaw, 18, got sick on a Tuesday in late April. He was at his high school in Cibolo, Texas, just outside San Antonio, when he came down with a fever of 103°F (39°C) and felt nauseated. Three days later, his doctor confirmed he had a mysterious new strain of swine flu that had just hit the U.S. - a virus that would eventually be labeled H1N1 of 2009. (See pictures of thermal scanners hunting for swine...
...urgency than his predecessor to the quest for a two-state peace, this week he finds himself in the position of wanting to restart peace talks more than the parties themselves do. Obama will meet with Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Tuesday, on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly session in New York City. But both sides have made clear that they'll essentially be humoring Obama, showing up because the President of the United States expects it of them and not to relaunch long-stalled "final status" peace negotiations...
...stalemate goes far beyond the atmospherics of Tuesday's New York City meeting. The Palestinians have lost all faith in the Israeli government's willingness to make the concessions needed for a credible two-state solution and see U.S. pressure as the only way to achieve that outcome.

...Baucus unveiled his bill last week. His Senate Finance Committee begins its formal markup of the legislation on Tuesday. And still no Republicans have signed on. Despite the Montana Senator's unshakable confidence that his push for bipartisanship will bear fruit, it is looking increasingly likely that Democrats will have to go it alone on health care - or at least virtually alone, with Maine Senator Olympia Snowe, the one moderate Republican who has remained open to supporting the bill. Walking down the corridors of the Senate on Sept. 17, I encountered a senior Senate Democratic aide whistling Simon & Garfunkel...
...attendance, are usually scripted, staid affairs. That's especially true when these get-togethers involve Chinese President Hu Jintao, whose private persona varies little from his public style. As befits someone who is running the world's most populous country, he is intensely disciplined and extremely cautious. On Tuesday, he will meet one on one with U.S. President Barack Obama on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in New York City before heading off to Pittsburgh, Pa., for the G-20 summit on Sept. 24-25. This is what a more relaxed Hu might say to Obama, whose first...
