Gideon Rachman | National Interest | 25 April 2012 "What is unfolding in Europe is a tragedy of good intentions. For entirely honorable reasons, European leaders attempted to construct a political and currency union." But now nationalist sentiments threaten to tear it apart Comments Samuel McNerney | Scientific American | 27 April 2012 There's no end of popular books on the shortcomings of rationality. Our flaws have been exposed to all. But, ironically, many have absorbed these titles uncritically, falling prey to the very biases they should have learnt to avoid Comments Louis Theroux | BBC | 26 April 2012 "Phoenix is a mecca for America's elderly, who are attracted by the year-round sun. It is also a kind of capital of the forgetful and the confused. Not coincidentally, Phoenix is pioneering the way dementia sufferers are treated" Comments David Greenberg | New Republic | 25 April 2012 Charles Colson, Richard Nixon's hatchet-man, was "the ugliest of the Watergate thugs, the most shamelessly vicious". Religion changed, but did not improve him. "The storyline of such a nasty man now finding God proved irresistible" Comments AL Kennedy | Granta | 24 April 2012 "Homicidal drivers, ten quid coffees, and areas in which I could not afford to buy anything more than a lock-up garage with a missing roof." And still she wants to move there. Scottish writer considers the draw of London Comments Ken Silverstein | Foreign Policy | 23 April 2012 Profile of Glencore, commodities firm founded by Marc Rich. Controls half of the world trade in zinc and copper, one-third of the coal market. And, as you'd expect, deals with some pretty nasty governments to secure supplies Comments |
