18-07-2009 00:37

I am effectively stealing this important article in the hope that some relevant people who don't read NS will learn from it. Humble apologies and all my respect to Michael Bond and New Scientist.

17-07-2009 05:51

Soldiers entering the Presidential Palace compound, Tegucigalpa, 28 June 2009
No one doubts that the fingerprints of Washington are all over the coup d’etat against President Manuel Zelaya that began last June 28th.
