...long as tech stocks were pushing the NASDAQ index to record highs, VCs could take scores of seedling companies public before they had time to fail, and walk away with triple-digit gains. The recent market downturn doesn't seem to faze Newman. "We're taking a long-term view," he says, like a Silicon Valley...
...American Psychological Association: "This 'television program' (if that's what CBS insists on calling it), is wreaking havoc on the collective psyche of the American public by promoting a thoroughly unrealistic view of interpersonal interactions. How, after all, are the nation's citizens supposed to maintain functional work and personal relationships if, at the first sign of trouble, they can just 'vote someone off their island'? That might work on television, but in real life, no man is an island unto himself, and besides, pretty much nobody really lives on an island these days. Once we have worked through these...
...Western media may be taking too simple a view of Bashar by stressing that he's young modernizer and that he's committed to peace," says Hamad.

And while moderate Southern Baptists are unlikely to execute a complete break from the national leadership, there are signs of internal schism, culminating in quietly defiant practices among moderates. "Many Southern Baptists view their affiliation with the church as primarily cultural, rather than religious," says Van Biema. This deep connection with the church, he explains, makes it much less likely that there will be a massive, formalized exodus. Only time will tell, of course, if the church's rightward shift will cause serious damage...
