...David Cummings, a 50-year-old London resident whose two children are suspected of having swine flu, says he and other parents have a relaxed view of the virus, although he says no one would intentionally expose their children to the disease. "I don't know any parents seriously considering the idea of a swine flu party, but I think parents have seen how mild the illness is and are no longer anxious about their children contracting the illness," he says. Health officials may wince at such sangfroid in the face of the virus, but, says Cummings: "Parents are shrugging...
...control, female equality and the fact that motherhood outside of marriage is no longer stigmatized - simply an institution that has the capacity to increase the pleasure of the adults who enter into it?

Ayatullah Ahmad Khatami, a conservative leader of Tehran's Friday Prayers, accused the protesters themselves of killing Neda: "Any intelligent person seeing the film gets...
...Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt - whose country has just taken over the E.U.'s six-month presidency - has acknowledged that the 27-nation bloc has a delicate balancing act to perform. He told reporters on Wednesday that the E.U. should show support for calls for reform from the people of Iran but "must not polarize Iran from the rest of the world so that we are made an excuse for the use of violence and oppression inside Iran."
