An American editor living in London writes about the best places for book lovers abroad.
Afghans and Americans deserve is a full, public discussion of the policy choices looming in the next weeks. We must choose to demonstrate a commitment to the rule of law, and not violence.
One of the most frustrating aspects of the health care reform debate is how often everyone pretends that we have no good options. We let people ...
Archeologists have found a smaller version of Stonehenge about a mile from the larger circle of rocks in Wiltshire, England, the BBC is reporting.
There was some good progress in Thursday's international negotiation sessions with Iran. But anyone who imagines the problem is solved is quite delusional.
There's a point in the Iran situation where semantics come into play. Is Iran on a path to nuclear weapons-capable technology? Yes. Is it producing nuclear weapons? No. Does it intend to produce nuclear weapons?
Obama is not a miracle maker, but he will have at least tried to win the IOC bid. And during it all, he and the government will continue in any necessary actions.
Why is China so hesitant to support sanctions against Iran? History, geo-politics and economic ties are what set China apart from its Security Council brethren.
Iran has been caught in yet another act of deception. Faced with the prospect of being outed by the U.S., Tehran's leaders informed the IAEA of a second uranium enrichment facility.
No matter what edicts are imposed by this united front -- to curb salaries, fraud or jurisdictional divisions -- there can be no long-term economic stability without world peace.
As traditional media nose-dives, Britain's grass roots hyperlocal web publishers come together for their first large gathering next week in Stoke-on-Trent on October 3.
Iran went front and center today, with war a real possibility in the wake of this morning's revelation of a secret nuclear facility.
Michael Almereyda is no stranger to toying with film form. His latest documentary, the deceptively free-form Paradise, is an affecting -- dare I say, paradisiacal -- experience.
May is a genuine throwback, a sexy seductress who'll knock you out just as quickly with her dynamite voice as her sultry looks.
The film, in short, is sweet, sad, and moving but with Campion's astringent edge keeping the proceedings from lapsing into sentimentality. And that makes all the difference.
"Puff the Magic Dragon" became my son's first favorite song. Without failure, he stopped whatever he was doing when the song began and crawled over to the tape recorder.
Muradi, a prominent and vocal member of the UK's Council of Ex-Muslims, renounced Islam as part of his fight against Islamists -- and as part of his effort to combat "the taboo that comes with such a renunciation."
Eight years since 9/11. It feels like 18 years, if not 80. So much has changed since then, yet so much is still the same.
An essay published by Yukio Hatoyama, the soon-to-be prime minister of Japan, has caused a big stir abroad, which in turn caused a bigger stir back in Japan.

It really bothers me even in the American press they have to keep bringing up he was Gay. I find it so disturbing to read headlines like "Gay singer dies" . It's just wrong and somehow takes away from the fact a nice young guy died much too young because its a distraction.
daily mail another rag owned by murdoch...nothing new here...
Someone posted a comment to yours saying that it was actually owned by someone else. Why was that deleted?
Well, I feel a little dim-witted, but somehow I'm not connecting the dots. Is the author implying that if he didn't die of natural causes there is somehow are relationship between not dying of natural causes and gay marriage? What is that suppose to mean? I don't get it. Does that mean that if I were to die of unnatural causes because I am straight being married wouldn't be causal but if I were gay and married, being married would be causal? Or is the point that marriage can be hazardous to your health?
My interpretation of Jan Moir's column is that she thinks there is something inherently wrong/unhealthy about Gately and Cowles apparently open relationship, but she can't quite place her finger on what that wrongness was. The threesome? The fact that Gately resorted to sleeping on the couch and not in the master bedroom? (Maybe he just grew tired while Cowles and Dochev wanted to keep going.) The pot that Gately had smoked? Who knows, Jan Moir finds it all fascinating and scary.
I think Jan Moir is a total prude though. Some (lucky b@astards) have threesomes and open relationships, that's just the way it is.
Be careful when you read British newspapers, they are known for their hyperbole and political correctness---especially the Guardian.
Meaning sometimes they print things that you don't like about Israel?
If I remember rightly you condemn the BBC for the same reasons.
jerry Levy - your posts just get better all the time!!!!!
That was a joke wasn't it?
oh you hate guardian so much reason being it prints raw news specially about is.rael which is pref-filtered by the IDF friendly US media also which included faux news and its extension outlets in UK like daily mail, telegraph etc
Neither the Mail or the Telegraph are anything to do with Fox News or Mr Murdoch.
Typical British fare.
Yes, a serious issue, that people are extremely irate over, sorry it's not Jon and Kate (whoever they are) Never mind perhaps Balloon Boy's dad will give a press conference today...
