Thu, 26 May 2005 18:00:00 EST What happens after North Korea falls?

It pays to take a look at the books George W. Bush hands out to his staffers. Last year Bush's book was Natan Sharansky's The Case for Democracy: The Power of Freedom to Overcome Tyranny and Terror, which argues that countries that do not protect individual rights cannot be reliable partners for peace. You could hear Sharansky's arguments in Bush's extraordinary second inaugural speech in which he promised to promote freedom and democracy in the Middle East and around the world. Bush's critics like to mock him as the sort of person who never read books. But he does, and his reading has consequences.

Thu, 26 May 2005 14:00:00 EST Bypass the stent?

The heart is a hard worker, pumping all day and night. The coronary arteries keep it supplied with the oxygen it needs to maintain its activity. In coronary artery disease, those vital blood vessels become clogged; in severe cases, this blockage can cause a heart attack. There are two major physical ways to restore blood flow. One is grafting another piece of blood vessel onto the artery as a bypass around the clogged spot. The other is threading a tiny catheter up through the circulatory system to the problem spot to deal with it directly. In recent years, doctors have also been able to leave a tiny device called a stent at the problem spot to hold it open. A study in this week's New England Journal of Medicine compared bypass surgery with stents.
