  1. Take a message from the ruins of Qusair

    WASHINGTON - On Wednesday, Qusair fell to the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria. Qusair is a strategic town that connects Damascus with Assad's Alawite heartland on the Mediterranean, with its ports and Russian naval base. It's a major strategic shift. Assad's forces can now advance on rebel-dominated areas in central and northern Syria, including Aleppo.

  2. Two good thrillers, one odd premise

    Good thrillers begin at home, at least when it comes to Chicago crime writers. The spring list of new genre novels shows local writer Michael Harvey working at the top of his form, with "The Innocence Game."

  4. 'You Are One of Them' is part coming-of-age, part thriller

    Back in 2007, Elliott Holt was the recipient of a curse: New York Magazine deemed the young writer one of its "Stars of Tomorrow." In Manhattan's claustrophobic literary world, expectations were immediately raised and daggers surely sharpened.

  6. Trying too hard to deal with Iran

    Iran's presidential election is again inviting speculation about which candidate can nudge the Islamic Republic toward moderation and pragmatism. Such conjectural games miss the point that the theocratic state is defined by an ideology that demonizes the West and relies on conspiracies to explain global affairs. The guardians of the Islamist state are emphatic in their belief that America harbors an enduring animosity not just toward their state but to the Muslim world. Its next president, drawn from the ranks of regime loyalists, is unlikely to temper this noxious political culture.

  7. Kerry sees no change on Iran no matter who wins election

    WASHINGTON -- Although nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili is favored to win the upcoming presidential election in Iran, U.S. Secretary of State John F. Kerry said Friday that the outcome would have little effect on Tehran’s disputed nuclear program and wouldn’t alter the Obama administration’s search for a diplomatic solution.

  12. Syria conflict: Hopes for peace conference may be dashed

    BEIRUT— With violence increasingly spilling over Syria's borders, refugees swamping its neighbors and new arms transfers to both sides on the horizon, a solution to the Syrian conflict has rarely seemed so urgent — and so far beyond reach.
