Matthieu Aikins | GQ | 5 March 2012 Gripping inside account of 20-hour siege on American embassy in Kabul, days after 10th anniversary of 9/11. "The fiction of common interests that has underpinned US-Pakistani relations is wearing thin" Comments Anonymous | Economist | 3 March 2012 “If you can programme events at a molecular level in cells, you can cure or kill cells which are sick or in trouble and leave the other ones intact." Neat, but to do this you need a whole new computer. A liquid one, built with DNA Comments Kristina Cooke & Edith Honan | Reuters | 6 March 2012 In Pennsylvania, Rick Santorum first won over a Democratic district, then alienated voters. It's beginning to look a familiar story. With each advance, his support is being partially undermined by his own controversial remarks Comments Stephen Cave | New Humanist | 5 March 2012 Reflections on the quest for immortality. Interesting on “Terror Management Theory”, concerning how morbid suggestions affect behaviour. And how all attempts to cheat death boil down to four basic strategies Comments Stephan Salisbury | Nation | 5 March 2012 America has spent $635bn since 9/11 militarising police forces in the name of the war on terror. "Public service and the public imagination have been weaponised." Far better to have spent the money on jobs and infrastructure Comments Bethany McLean | Vanity Fair | 5 March 2012 What happened when the hedge fund billionaire's wife met the yoga master. No, not an affair, but an attempt to codify his teachings after his death and turn them into what looks like a commercial enterprise. Or worse Comments |
