nedelja, 14. marec 2010 
Spiegel - Swine flu kept the world in suspense for almost a year. A massive vaccination campaign was mounted to put a stop to the anticipated pandemic. But, as it turned out, it was a relatively harmless strain of the flu virus. How, and why, did the world overreact? [...]

Don’t celebrate these billionaires, be horrified by their existence
nedelja, 14. marec 2010 
Guardian - The numbers of billionaires was growing again – proof positive that the global economic machine was picking up. It is the ultimate degeneracy of the age. It is just accepted that loadsamoney, capitalism, jobs and economic progress are indissolubly linked. [...]
Burying myths, uncovering truth
sobota, 13. marec 2010 
Economist - In the aftermath of fighting or repression, people are often told to forget things. But in free societies, selective memory cannot be imposed for ever. Unearthing the past often means literally that: digging graves and studying the evidence. [...]
Postoji li dogovor Sanader – Kosor
sobota, 13. marec 2010 
Jutarnji list - Nagađanja o mogućim pretumbacijama u HDZ-u nisu bez osnova. Bez obzira na napadna skandiranja, sigurno je da nova šefica još nije ovladala HDZ-om onako kako ga je pod svojom apsolutnom vlašću imao njezi,n prethodnik. Zato i strepi od Sanaderova povratka u Sabor. [...]

Slate - A dangerous idea has taken hold in modern politics. The idea is that political disagreements can be resolved by science. The types of things that scientists are good at figuring out don't have much to do with the types of things that politicians need to decide. [...]
Paradoks cipela
petek, 12. marec 2010 
Vreme - Stvorili smo svet u kojem se novine – ili muzika, ili filmovi – mogu besplatno daunloudovati sa interneta; međutim, par cipela ili veknu hleba ne možeš da daunlouduješ sa neta, ni legalno ni piratski! A trebaju ti nasušno, jer još nemaš sajber-noge i sajber-stomak. [...]
Lažni manekeni istine
petek, 12. marec 2010 
Jutarnji list - Vrijeme je za velike istine - objavila je u jeku seljačke bune Jadranka Kosor, još se zaklinjući da ona neće muljati i u toj je odluci “neće obeshrabriti nikakvi napadi, objede i prijetnje”. Ako je zaista tako, premijerki je osigurano važno mjesto u hrvatskoj povijesti. [...]
