But then I said, 'Look, this campaign is about one thing: do Spaniards want to continue to build a progressive, modern democracy, or do they want to return to the kind of authoritarian regime that the PP wants?' The truth isn't enough - you have to frame it so people will understand it." A leader betting his reelection on the conviction that his compatriots are as progressive as he is should probably listen...

A 2007 British study found that at any given moment, a bereaved spouse has a greater risk of death from just about any cause (except, oddly, lung cancer) than a still married person. "Over time," says Coan, "your brain becomes used to the other person as part of your emotional-regulation strategy. You take that person away, and you become what we dryly call dysregulated--weepy, mournful, stay up half...
