...fled from the ferry--along with "sleeper" associates already hiding somewhere in the U.S. It's likely that at least one other person would have been required to transform the volatile chemicals in Ressam's trunk into bombs. The chemistry alone could take a couple of days; the assembly process would have been tricky as well. Ressam's chosen crossing point seemed amateurish: he would stand out among the sparse travelers. And though he could be a lone crank with a totally fanciful notion of what it takes to perpetrate mayhem, if he is not, it means several other people...
...life, empathy and respect." These two positions are neatly represented in Thursday's report; of 234 residents and interns interviewed, two-thirds felt the tube-threading procedure should not be performed. The remaining doctors disagreed, saying the maneuver would help them learn, and treat future patients better. "This process brings up something people are uncomfortable with," one doctor not involved in the study told the New York Times.

New research, to be published in the January issue of the journal Nature Neuroscience, found that the primary language a person is raised with affects the way he or she thinks and processes information. The researchers studied Italian and British college students and found that the Italians read and process information faster, even when reading words from other languages. The findings come as little surprise to linguistics experts, who've long held that our primary language forms our minds and our perceptions. Since, for example, Western...
