| How can Europe even begin to think about subsidizing terrorism? That would be the effect of the stealth efforts to keep money flowing to Palestine despite its takeover by Hamas. The quaint notion that this terrorist organization will change its spots doesn't survive even a moment's scrutiny. A video message on the Hamas website proclaims: "We are a nation that drinks blood, and we know that there is no blood better than the blood of the Jews." |

| No matter where you get your news--TV, daily paper, website, magazine, or radio--the media are choked with conflicting medical information. From low-fat diets to hormones, chocolate milk to pain relievers, calcium to vitamin pills, readers are confused. There may be no greater offender than the mixed messages that pour in regularly about what some consider America's national beverage--coffee. On this score, last week's report in the
Journal of the American Medical Association on the purported link between coffee drinking and heart attacks is a godsend. For this article serves up coffee as a model for consumers in making sense of much of the health news that seems at odds. |

| The body keeps no secrets from Alexander Tsiaras. His images reveal all: red cells deep within the lungs, jostling like a line of boisterous kindergarteners through a narrow capillary to hoist a load of oxygen. Delicate fronds of tissue tugging at the heart's valves. A globule of cells slowly assembling itself into a tadpole-ish creature that soon reveals human features and finally pops through the birth canal. But here, too, are a smoker's blasted lungs. Lumpy plaques in a coronary artery--a heart attack in the making. A blood vessel bursting in the brain: a stroke in progress. |
