Tim Judah | Bloomberg | 8 April 2012 Don't be misled by all the reports from Bosnia saying that the country has gone nowhere since war ended. It has held together despite a jerry-built political structure. It hasn't collapsed back into war. That's quite a big deal Comments Guy Adams | Independent | 6 April 2012 Marty Rathbun spent 27 years with L Ron Hubbard's crowd. Oversaw sensitive legal campaigns, even mentored Tom Cruise. Fled, disillusioned in 2004. Dropped off radar for five years; emerged as outspoken critic of his former "church" Comments Erik Klemetti | Wired | 4 April 2012 Forget firing a missile or drilling into the crater. Best bet is a massive explosion to remove top of the volcano; then add seawater. But not too little, not too much. Even then, eruption might take a year if it happens at all Comments Steven Cook | Cairo Review of Global Affairs | 29 March 2012 US policy towards Middle East used to rely on "authoritarian stability". It wasn't good for Arab people but, for 30 years, it met Washington's goals. No more. US viewed so negatively in Egypt that hands-off approach best plan now Comments Will Stone | White Review | 2 April 2012 A visit to Oradour, ravaged in WWII. "Here is a relic of something that once lived, but due to the intensity of the death which clings to it, manages to live permanently in a different guise, as a warning, as a lesson, as a witness" Comments Joachim Kronsbein | Spiegel | 5 April 2012 Singer talks about his art and his thalidomide disability. "I remember getting a call from Grünenthal [which sold thalidomide in Germany]. They asked me to sing at their Christmas party. I said: You must be out of your minds!" Comments |
