...heard Time's appeal and protected the confidentiality of its reporter's sources. Still, I applaud Pearlstine for making the principled decision to follow the rule of law, much as he believes the law should be different. We don't have to like laws, orders or rulings. But unless we are anarchists, we should follow them. Rich McLeod Kansas City, Missouri, U.S. As a college journalism student, I was disappointed by Time's decision to turn over Cooper's notes to federal prosecutors - a decision that sets a dangerous precedent for the rest of us. Our profession is under fire...
...Just how delicate? That depends on where the price of oil goes from here. The oil industry is already producing flat-out, and demand is still increasing?albeit not as quickly as last year?driven by increasing consumption in China, India and the U.S. Unless that demand cools, the fear is that prices will inevitably continue to surge. Analysts who expected global economic growth to slow?thus curbing some demand for crude?as oil passed $40 and then $50 per barrel have been proved wrong.

Still, prevention is key. Every year 145,000 new cases of colorectal cancer are diagnosed, and unless the disease is diagnosed early, the prognosis isn't great.

...expects any of these concerns to hold the field back for long. Noninvasive imaging has the potential to radically alter the way physicians diagnose and monitor heart disease. "The whole paradigm for us has been that you don't get that kind of information unless you stick things into people," says Duke University's Douglas. But as cardiac scanners become more powerful and their diagnoses more definitive, sticking probes into people is going to sound less and less like modern medicine--and more like voodoo. --With reporting by Leslie Whitaker/Chicago...
...World. But few people have an accurate idea of the society that was there before the Europeans arrived. Charles C. Mann, a leading science writer, has decided to remedy that, with his new book, 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus (Knopf). The prepub reviews have been glowing. "Unless you're an anthropologist, it's likely that everything you know about American prehistory is wrong," trumpets Kirkus Reviews. "An excellent, and highly accessible, survey of America's past."
