Tony Blair saluda como si conociera a su interlocutor. Como si fuera un amigo. A pesar de los pesares -y han sido muchos los sufridos por Blair, lejos ya sus grandes momentos- mantiene en perfecto funcionamiento el mecanismo de una sonrisa acogedora y cálida, aunque hay nuevas arrugas cerca de los ojos azules si se compara con fotos de hace sólo tres años.

CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chávez is heaping praise on Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, the Venezuelan better known as Carlos the Jackal and implicated in hijackings and terror attacks across Europe in the 1970s and ’80s, describing him in a speech here Friday night as a “revolutionary fighter.” Mr. Chávez, speaking to an applauding gathering of leftist political parties from around the world, said...

Após quatro séculos de dominação colonial espanhola e mais de meio século de república marcado por duas ditaduras e 50 anos de revolução, Cuba está novamente em uma encruzilhada. O governo deve definir um projeto viável de desenvolvimento num contexto histórico e geopolítico novo: a passagem das figuras históricas da revolução às novas gerações e as negociações com o governo norte-americano sob...

Most women should start regular breast cancer screening at age 50, not 40, according to new guidelines released Monday by an influential group that provides guidance to doctors, insurance companies and policy makers.

DOCUMENTÁRIO DE ALFRED HITCHCOCK SOBRE CAMPOS DE CONCENTRAÇÃO NAZISTAS!
(tecobel) 1. Londres e Washington perceberam que teriam um problema perante a história: alguém, no futuro, tentaria negar que aquilo acontecera. A extensão da crueldade era tamanha - no número de vítimas e no ponto ao qual os nazistas levaram os sobreviventes - que nada parecia, de...

NYT: Fading From Scene, Mandela Still Looms Large
JOHANNESBURG — The icon is a very old man now. His hair is white, his body frail. Visitors say Nelson Mandela leans heavily on a cane when he walks into his study. He slips off his shoes, lowers himself into a stiff-backed chair and lifts each leg onto a cushioned stool. His wife, Graça, adjusts his feet “so they’re symmetrical, and gives him a peck,” says George Bizos, his old friend and lawyer....

WASHINGTON – The glow from a health care triumph faded quickly for President Barack Obama on Sunday as Democrats realized the bill they fought so hard to pass in the House has nowhere to go in the Senate.

WSJ: Tuesday's Suburban Vote Swing
Tuesday’s elections should put a scare into red state Democrats—and a few blue state ones, too. Barack Obama was said to have redrawn the electoral map by winning Virginia last year with 53% of the vote. On Tuesday, Republican Bob McDonnell flipped the state back to the GOP, winning his election for governor with 59% of the vote. Mr. Obama carried New Jersey easily last year with 57% of the...

NYT: Transcripts of Defeat
THE highly decorated general sat opposite his commander in chief and explained the problems his army faced fighting in the hills around Kabul: “There is no piece of land in Afghanistan that has not been occupied by one of our soldiers at some time or another,” he said. “Nevertheless much of the territory stays in the hands of the terrorists. We control the provincial centers, but we cannot...

LONDON — In the realm of Twitter insults, it was at the far end of mild. “Much as I admire and adore the chap, they are a bit … boring,” a Twitter user called brumplum wrote Saturday, speaking of the tweets of Stephen Fry, the British writer, actor and television personality. But that little tweet set off a frenzy of vitriolic attacks and counterattacks on Twitter, drawing an untold number...
