The End of the Euro

Crisis—from the Greek "krisis," for a turning point in a disease—is one of many English words we owe to the ancient Athenians. Now their modern descendants are reminding us what it really means.Just when it seemed safe to start using the word "recovery," a Greek crisis is threatening the world economy, and the very existence of the world's second-biggest currency.The euro seemed like… >>続き Newsweek英語版 May 17 2010

Why Men Love War

Theodore Roosevelt wanted a war, and almost any war would do. In 1886, when he was a 27-year-old gentleman rancher in the Dakota Territory, he proposed raising "some companies of horse riflemen out here in the event of trouble with Mexico." He wrote his friend Congressman Henry Cabot Lodge: "Will you telegraph me at once if war becomes inevitable?" In 1889, while agitating for military "preparedne… >>続き Newsweek英語版 May 10 2010

Combat High

 Few other parts of Afghanistan have rivaled the remote Korengal Valley in terms of the cost in American lives per square mile. U.S. forces finally pulled out this April, after five bloody years and more than 40 American deaths. In 2007 and 2008, journalist Sebastian Junger spent 14 months intermittently embedded with U.S. forces in the valley, patrolling with them and living among them at th… >>続き Newsweek英語版 May 10 2010

Why I Hate 3-D (and You Should Too)

3-D is a waste of a perfectly good dimension. Hollywood's current crazy stampede toward it is suicidal. It adds nothing essential to the moviegoing experience. For some, it is an annoying distraction. For others, it creates nausea and headaches. It is driven largely to sell expensive projection equipment and add a $5 to $7.50 surcharge on already expensive movie tickets. Its image is noticeab… >>続き Newsweek英語版 May 10 2010

The New Silk Road

Thousands of years ago, trade caravans packed with spices and silk crisscrossed the Eurasian land mass along routes collectively known as the Silk Road. These caravans connected Constantinople to China's then-capital, Changan, and even today the city (now Xian) has an ancient Muslim quarter and a self-assuredness evoking that bygone era. In those days, all roads led to China, which lived up to its… >>続き Newsweek英語版 May 10 2010

The Eton Problem

For the new-look conservatives of David Cameron, the watchword is "change." This isn't the doctrinaire movement of Margaret Thatcher or the backward-looking party of its older supporters. Cameron talks boldly of "progressive" conservatism. But at least one characteristic unites the modern Tories with their past. If Cameron reaches Downing Street after this week's elections—the party leads in… >>続き Newsweek英語版 May 10 2010

Classical Returns

During the mid-2000s, Chinese contemporary art rose to world attention, with political pop and cynical realist works by artists like Yue Minjun and Zhang Xiaogang regularly breaking records at auction. In 2008 Zeng Fanzhi's Mask Series 1996 No. 6 sold for $9.66 million at Christie's, setting a world record for a contemporary Chinese artist, and the Guggenheim Museum in New York ran a major retrosp… >>続き Newsweek英語版 May 3 2010

Movement ‘Mother’

Dorothy Height's name is unknown to most Americans. Yet her death last week at the age of 98 spawned tributes worthy of a saint. President Barack Obama proclaimed her "the godmother of the civil-rights movement." Wade Henderson, head of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, an organization that Height chaired for 15 years, declared her "the founding mother of the new American republ… >>続き Newsweek英語版 May 3 2010

Golden Girl

At 88, Betty White is an unlikely candidate for Hollywood's buzziest actress, and yet here she is in the thick of an irony-free resurgence. Hot on the heels of her ballyhooed Super Bowl commercial for Snickers, she's enjoying the type of career the starlets who populate "Who Wore It Best?" would love to have: numerous film and television appearances are lined up, including a hosting gig next month… >>続き Newsweek英語版 May 3 2010

Hear Them Roar

or women in Iraq, running for office is an especially risky proposition. The country's Constitution, like those of many nations that have been racked by conflict, requires that a quarter of all parliamentary seats must go to women. Yet even as the number of female leaders and political activists has increased, so has the backlash. In February, a female candidate was shot and killed in Mosul.Yet fe… >>続き Newsweek英語版 Apr 19 2010

What Went Wrong

Throughout what U.S. Catholics called the "Long Lent" of 2002, when every week seemed to bring revelations of clerical sexual abuse and its mishandling by the church's bishops, some observers suggested that this crisis was the byproduct of some distinctive features of Catholic life: a celibate priesthood, a church governed by male bishops, a demanding sexual ethic. "Modernize" the church by changi… >>続き Newsweek英語版 Apr 12 2010

Russia Invades Afghanistan—Again

For Viktor Ivanov, the road back to Kabul has taken two decades. He first arrived in Afghanistan in 1987 as a young KGB officer, back when the country was the southernmost outpost of the Soviet empire. When he returned last month, Kabul was the outpost of a very different empire—one run by reluctant imperialists in Washington keen to get out as soon as possible. Though the official reason fo… >>続き Newsweek英語版 Apr 12 2010

The Wisdom of Woz

What do you think of the iPad?I'm out here on the road with four cell phones and two GPS devices, trying to look at maps, and I wish I had an iPad with me now.Do you think it will be a big hit? The iPad could lower the cost of acquiring computers for students. I think it's going to be huge in the education market. Think about students going off to college. They want an Apple product, but their … >>続き Newsweek英語版 Apr 12 2010

Raising a Continent

David Adjaye may be the only person on earth who has visited Rwanda for its buildings. The British architect has just returned from Kigali, the capital, where he shot pictures of mosques, churches, parks, and luxury villas. It was the final stop on his quest to photograph every capital in Africa, a 10-year odyssey culminating in Urban Africa, a new exhibit at London's Design Museum (through S… >>続き Newsweek英語版 Apr 19 2010

Holding Half The Seats

In virtually all societies, leadership is gendered masculine. Where women do get a chance to lead, they are often seen as ersatz men—Margaret Thatcher as the "Iron Lady" or Golda Meir as "the only man in the cabinet." Many women leaders are forgotten when they are seen as anomalies and not part of a pattern. When I served on a panel at the 2004 International AIDS Conference in Barcelona, I w… >>続き Newsweek英語版 Apr 19 2010

Iraq ’n’ Roll

It's not every day that the NPR crowd falls for a heavy-metal band, but then Acrassicauda isn't your average group of headbangers. The foursome, whose name means "black scorpion" in Latin, played their first real show behind blast walls and barbed wire, had their rehearsal space destroyed by a missile, and received death threats from fundamentalists for playing "Western devil music"—all… >>続き Newsweek英語版 Mar 22 2010

This Won’t Hurt a Bit

When the White House and Congress were struggling last year to keep the cost of health-care reform from exploding, they got most of the industry to ante up. Pharma agreed to give up $80 billion in revenue over the next decade, hospitals kicked in $155 billion in foregone Medicare and Medicaid payments, and medical-device makers grudgingly agreed to a $20 billion tax. But one big player refused to … >>続き Newsweek英語版 Mar 22 2010

Gun Rally

When the constitutional accountability Center launched in 2008, it looked like just another liberal legal-advocacy group, dedicated to "fulfilling the progressive promise of our Constitution's text and history." The causes it has backed run the standard liberal gamut: among other things, the group supports California's efforts to regulate carbon emissions and pushes for "robust due-process protect… >>続き Newsweek英語版 Mar 08 2010
