...European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), which has a gigantic particle collider straddling the France-Switzerland border. Many reports suggested that Hicheur had either planned an attack on the installation or had sought to pass information or material to AQIM so that jihadis could construct a nuclear weapon. Neither was true: CERN says it has nothing on its property that could be used to build a nuclear bomb, and Hicheur's limited security access didn't allow him close enough to the main collider to launch an attack on it.

Surveying the scene at the Daniela Corte fashion show Friday night, it becomes readily apparent that we’re not in New York any more. The "list" is a collection of Daniela’s ardent supporters rather than a weapon of mass humiliation; the models look like your really stunning next door neighbor rather than a really stunning display of bones; and the fashion crowd even includes a group of pre-teens pouting for their mom’s camera...

...Handshake is a greeting, an expression of trust, a mutual guarantee by two people that--at least in one hand--they carry no weapon. But it can also ensure a measure of distance and convey an articulation of reserve, as if its participants are thinking, Thus far and no further. A handshake is not a hug. There was little obvious warmth when Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu and the Palestinian Authority's Mahmoud Abbas met, under the stern gaze of Barack Obama, at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York City. The history of their nations is littered with too many...

...believe him? Nope, me neither - but I am also not convinced that Iran intends to build a nuclear weapon. "I think they're hedging," says Jim Walsh of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a nonproliferation expert who speaks frequently with the Iranians. "I don't think they've made a weapon decision, but I do think they want breakout capability" - the ability, similar to Japan's, to quickly assemble a bomb if necessary. "If you actually build a bomb, you start incurring real international costs, as the North Koreans have," added Walsh, referring to the fact that the Russians...
