David Remnick | New Yorker | 12 December 2011 Superb, and superbly readable, account of Russia under Putin. Captures cynicism, corruption and violence of the state; its historical underpinnings; and growing discontent following latest parliamentary elections Comments Sharon Begley | Newsweek | 12 December 2011 "After four decades of largely unfulfilled hopes, scientists have hit on a potential cure that few thought possible a few years ago: Vaccines." Much still to prove but early clinical trials show promising, if variable, results Comments Joseph Stiglitz | Vanity Fair | 11 December 2011 "Even when we repair the banking system, we’ll still be in deep trouble—because we were already in deep trouble. That seeming golden age of 2007 was far from a paradise." Here's why, and what we can learn from the Great Depression Comments Alan Zarembo | LA Times | 11 December 2011 Rate of autism diagnosis among children has risen 20-fold in 20 years. But it's not a surge in disease, it's a surge in diagnosis. The "spectrum" is wide, and being somewhere on it opens the way to publicly funded healthcare Comments Ellen Evans and Jon Moses | White Review | 1 December 2011 Anthropologist, inspiration for OWS, on anarchy, direct action. "The only plausible scenario for revolution is when the forces of order refuse to shoot. For most revolutions in world history, that is what ultimately happens" Comments Will Storr | Observer | 11 December 2011 She claimed that her parents abused her in satanic rituals, forced her to kill her six children, put an implant in her eye that would explode if she spoke of her ordeal. None true. But she had seen therapists. Were they to blame? Comments |
