  1. The glory that was Greece

    When Germany'schancellor, Hannelore Kraft, met France's president, Francois Hollande, in a sunny Berlin earlier this week, they agreed on a compelling strategy to save the Eurozone. With no elections due in any Eurozone country for the next two years, they were able to stretch the austerity timeline for Greece, Spain and Italy, add some elements of growth stimulus but also keep up the essential pressure for fiscal discipline and structural reform. As a result, even devastated Greece began to glimpse light at the end of the tunnel.

  2. As women grow older, daughter becomes the favorite

    Gentlemen, take note: If your wife has stopped calling you as much as she used to and you feel like you're being replaced, you might be right to suspect that there's someone else in her life. But it's not another man — it's another woman. And she's probably your own daughter.

  3. Study examines diet, exercise, obesity in prisons worldwide

    In a new study examining diet, physical activity and obesity in prison populations, researchers at the University of Oxford in England have found that in most cases, male prisoners are less likely to be obese than men in the general population. Female prisoners, on the other hand, were more likely to be obese than other women — at least, in the U.S. and Australia.

  5. A princeling's fall in China

    BEIJING — What is happening in China? The officially acknowledged or credibly confirmed facts of the Bo Xilai affair are worthy of a blockbuster political thriller. Its deeper causes, however, go to the heart of the weird, unprecedented system of Leninist capitalism that has emerged in China over the last 30 years. Its possible consequences for change in that system could do more to shape the 21st century world than anything happening in Washington, New Delhi or Brussels. Behind the walls of the Communist Party leadership compound, next to the old Forbidden City, the ghost of Hegel has somehow got mixed up with Robert Ludlum.

  6. Egypt's hold on the U.S.

    Help me, dear reader, solve a little puzzle. While I was moving freely around Cairo last week, Sam LaHood, the son of the U.S. Transportation secretary, was confined to U.S. diplomatic quarters. He had taken refuge there because he, along with 42 other foreign and Egyptian NGO activists, was to be put on trial by a still military-dominated Egyptian regime that receives more than $1.5 billion in U.S. aid. LaHood had tried to leave the country in January but had been turned back.

  7. Should you take aspirin to prevent or treat cancer?

    Earlier this week, three studies in the medical journal The Lancet (<a href=&quot;http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(11)61720-0/fulltext" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(12)60209-8/fulltext" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanonc/article/PIIS1470-2045(12)70112-2/fulltext" target="_blank">here</a>, no subscription required) co-authored by researcher Peter M. Rothwell of the University of Oxford in England and an accompanying <a href="http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(11)61654-1/fulltext" target="_blank">comment</a> (subscription required) by Andrew Chan and Nancy Cook of the Harvard Medical School all detailed results suggesting that a daily dose of aspirin can prevent cancer -- or at least slow its progress.&nbsp;
