...TIME's cover story] has had the same effect as Orson Welles' radio adaptation of H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds in 1938 ... The French were persuaded to believe in an American attack on French culture. The controversy of the past weeks is purely manufactured, the handiwork of three people: the clever journalist who wrote the article, the shrewd editor who put it on the cover, and the graphic artist who brilliantly associated the widely lamented death of Marcel Marceau with, if I may draw on modern French thought, the empty signifier "French culture."

So little, in fact, that it's extremely hard (some experts say impossible) to demonstrate statistically that the radiation from an X-ray increases your risk of cancer. There's no question that X-rays can cause cancer, but the effect...
...believe you have already faced your biggest challenges, or do they still lie ahead? -Michael Crayton, SeattleThe absolute biggest challenge for us all is global warming. I wish the American government would wake up to this fact, because it is going to have an effect on our children. Now, what is the answer to that problem? It could be that we are already too late and that the world is destined to heat up dramatically.
