 Best of the Moment

Will We Be All Right In The End?

David Runciman | LRB | 5 January 2012

Democracy is being tested severely in Europe. It's not looking that healthy in America. "The fear is that the political system we’ve relied on in the past might not be up to the task at hand, but it’s the only one we’ve got" Comments

The Future Of Prediction

Leon Neyfakh | Boston Globe | 1 January 2012

No point asking "experts" – their predictions are notoriously unreliable. But new technologies, able to analyse vast amounts of data, may yet produce an accurate forecasting machine. Question is, would we actually want to use it? Comments

Schadenfreude Capitalism

Harold James | Project Syndicate | 4 January 2012

"Today’s global economy is a riot of slipping economic models. And tomorrow the cacophony will be even louder." American, European capitalism seems flawed. Asian approach no better. So, is there a correct way to organise an economy? Comments

Should We Erase Painful Memories?

Alison Winter | Salon | 31 December 2011

Interesting topic, thoughtfully handled. If neuroscience let us perform "memory dampening", would it be ethical? People worry because our experiences seem central to personal identity. But so too did consciousness. Until anaesthesia Comments

Following In Henry VIII's Footsteps

Stephen Cooper | History Today | 5 January 2012

In 1533 the British parliament ruled that legal cases involving religion could no longer be appealed to the Vatican for final resolution. A useful precedent, if Britain decides to reject the supremacy of European Union law Comments

How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body

William Broad | NYT | 5 January 2012

"Yoga can lower blood pressure, make chemicals that act as antidepressants, even improve your sex life. But the yoga community long remained silent about its potential to inflict blinding pain." For many, it can do serious damage Comments

Cheat Sheet - Ex-Romney Adviser Unleashes New Video Trashing Mitt

Today: Eurozone Unemployment Hits Record High, Book Reveals Tension Between Michelle, Rahm, Syria Blames Al Qaeda for Bombing
The Daily Beast Cheat Sheet: Morning

January 07, 2012
EXCLUSIVE

A pro-Newt-Gingrich super PAC has won a bidding war to fire the latest missile at Mitt Romney, scooping up an ex-Romney adviser's half-hour attack video blasting Mitt's work at Bain Capital. Peter J. Boyer has an exclusive look at the scathing film depicting Romney as a greedy, job-killing corporate raider "more ruthless than Wall Street."

JOBLESS

Unemployment rates are dropping in the U.S., but things are not looking so good over in Europe, where deep austerity cuts have severely hurt many countries in the eurozone. According to employment numbers released Friday by the EU's statistics agency, Eurostat, unemployment across the 17 eurozone countries has hit 16.4 million, or 10.3 percent—a new record since the establishment of the eurozone. Spain had the highest rate of unemployment, with 22.9 percent out of work, but Greece—the country whose austerity measures vote took down their own government and threatened to drown the whole EU—was not far behind with 18.8 percent. Germany remained the strongman of Europe, with its unemployment actually declining from 9.1 percent to 8.1 percent.

JUICY

Nobody says no to Michelle Obama, except maybe Rahm Emanuel. According to The Obamas, a new book by New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor, Michelle wanted to sit in on Rahm's 7:30 a.m. staff meetings, but he rebuffed the idea. Kantor writes that Michelle wasn't thrilled about her husband's choice for chief of staff and as time wore on, the pair was increasingly at odds over how President Obama should approach policy issues like immigration and health-care reform. Rahm often took the tack that the president needed realistic legislative victories, while Michelle was more concerned with whether her husband was fulfilling the mission he set out to achieve.

ANTI-TERROR

The Syrian government blamed al Qaeda for Friday's deadly bombing that killed at least 11 people in a Damascus suburb. The Interior Ministry described the bombing as having "the fingerprints" of the terror network despite the deadly crackdown that Syrian security forces have taken against antigovernment protesters, who have been demonstrating on Fridays for months. Meanwhile, some Syrian officials blamed the Arab League. Human-rights activists also said on Saturday that security forces fired on protesters at sit-ins in two parts of the country, killing one and wounding at least 20 others.

HOMECOMING

A Texas teenager who was mistakenly deported to Colombia was reunited with her family Friday. Jakadrien Lorce Turner, 15, had run away from home more than a year ago and was arrested in April 2011 using the name Tika Cortez, an identity that tied her to a 21-year-old illegal immigrant from Colombia. She was deported in May, despite not even being fluent in Spanish. Jakadrien's family is now questioning how a minor could have been deported and why officials didn't do more to confirm her identity. For now, her family's attorney said that Jakadrien, who is pregnant, is "happy to be home" and her family is "ecstatic" to be reunited with her.
