Questioning the Iraq War It is an indication of how effective the insidious issue-spinning propaganda machine of the neoconservatives in Washington has been that even a supposedly balanced publication like NEWSWEEK is giving a very biased reading of events in the Middle East. You say, “Without question, finally snatching Saddam was a big victory” (“Operation Hearts and Minds,” Dec. 29/Jan. 5). Really? Whoever doubted that the country that spends more than any other nation in the world on the military would be able to topple Saddam and finally capture him?...

President Bush and Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad could be twins in disguise. Both are religious fanatics. Both value faith over facts. Both love war and hate homosexuals. Both are unpopular in their respective countries: in fact, it’s hard to gauge which man is more unpopular. Ironically, these two leaders depend—or rather, codepend—on each other. Bush keeps threatening Iran to cover up the massive failure of his Iraq policy. It is interesting that his administration leaked the identity of CIA agent Valerie Plame—she was monitoring Iran’s nuclear threat before she was outed....

A Sobering Dose of Reality Thank you for a well-written, informative and accurate account of the potential use of the smallpox virus as a biological weapon (“The Plan to Fight Smallpox,” Oct. 14). Scientists and elected leaders have clearly created a realistic response plan, especially given the enormous constraints of time, safety and resources. One of our nation’s next steps should be to alert its 280 million citizens to comprehensive information about the symptoms of bioterror illness and the responses that would help facilitate effective medical care....

Now, the long answers. Stocks are a leading economic indicator, but aren’t the leading economic indicator. Alas, there is no definitive single indicator of what lies ahead in the economy. Few people know this better than Victor Zarnowitz, the resident business-cycle expert at the Conference Board, a nonprofit business group that took over responsibility for the Index of Leading Economic Indicators when the Commerce Department privatized it in 1995. Zarnowitz, who at 82 has seen a lot of cycles come and go, says a daily diet of nothing but stock prices will leave economy watchers malnourished....

The flaw, which evidence suggests is still being actively exploited, can be abused to compromise devices from companies including Samaung, Huawei and Motorola. It has been linked to an Israeli spyware firm known as NSO Group, which sells hacking tools to covertly infiltrate phones.

To no one’s surprise, Patrick Mahomes earned the only 99 overall at his position. There were only five quarterbacks in Madden 21 to earn a 90 or higher overall rating. As for other top performers, Lamar Jackson was cleary the runaway in the speed category with 96. Bills signal caller Josh Allen tops out throw power with 99. Comparing the end of Madden 20’s quarterback ratings, there isn’t too much of a difference in Madden 21....

In preparation for Madden NFL 16’s launch, EA Sports has begun to detail the sports game’s upcoming features and player stats. However, one stat in particular caught the attention of the 2014 Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, who felt the need to make a playful jab at the Madden franchise. As readers can see in the image below, Madden NFL 16 has given Seahawk running back Marshawn Lynch a ‘Trucking’ rating of 98, two shy of a perfect 100....

To put things simply, players should expect to complete Mafia: Definitive Edition in approximately 15 hours, which is very much in line with the average completion time for the original release. While fans that pursue all of its collectibles, or get seriously stuck on Mafia: Definitive Edition’s race mission, may get some additional time out of the title, the narrative is quite succinct and can be wrapped up without a tremendous time investment....

title: “Magdart Is Magsafe For Android But Why Do We Even Want Wireless Charging " ShowToc: true date: “2022-12-05” author: “Edith Williams” MagDart comes from Realme, and is both a new technology and a new range of accessories for the upcoming Realme Flash phone. But do we even want these magnetic, “wireless” chargers? They add just a single point of convenience, and are worse in almost every other way. “Wireless charging is very dependent on the position of the device,” Micah Peterson of Battery Market told Lifewire via email....

However, one of the cards revealed for this upcoming Magic: The Gathering set sends an interesting message. Lolth, the dark spider goddess largely associated with the draw, has a Magic card coming up, and she has the special privilege of getting a planeswalker card. While the card is impressive and encourages an interesting sacrificial deck type, why is Lolth a planeswalker to begin with? It seems more natural that she would be a Spider God or a Spider Demon as a creature card, akin to Tiamat....

Los Angeles has gotten off to a bumpy start this season, dropping back-to-back home games against Golden State and Phoenix.

But if the nation was saddened, it was galvanized, too. “If you tried to come up with the perfect person to carry the message of AIDS awareness to the people it ought to reach,” said New York AIDS activist Rodger McFarlane, “you couldn’t do better than Magic Johnson.” The National AIDS Hotline lit up with 40,000 phone calls on the day of Johnson’s announcement, instead of the usual 3,800. At the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, AIDS-related calls, which usually average 200 per hour, jumped to 10,000 in a single hour on Thursday night....
