It Comes With the Territory
Moscow Times, by Mark H. Teeter - Russia’s intrepid underwater conquest of the south side of the North Pole earlier this month raised some bemused eyebrows. If you’re under a pole, one observer asked, do you plant the flag upside down? Another wondered if the Antarctic Treaty means the reverse can’t happen: Russians in a blimp can’t claim the north side of the South Pole, can they? Jokes aside, however, Russia’s summer Arctic adventure — though not a formal territorial claim — may indeed carry real significance. Americans probably understand this better than anyone.

Philosophy Now, by Ray Tallis - There is increasing concern amongst a wide range of commentators that human nature is in the process of being irrevocably changed by technological advances which either have been achieved or are in the pipeline. According to a multitude of op-ed writers, cultural critics, social scientists and philosophers, we have not faced up to the grave implications of what is happening. We are sleep-walking and need to wake up. Human life is being so radically transformed that our very essence as human beings is under threat.

To invoke Vietnam was a blunder too far for Bush
Guardian, by Christopher Hitchens - How do I dislike President George Bush? Let me count the ways. Most of them have to do with his contented assumption that ‘faith’ is, in and of itself, a virtue. This self-satisfied mentality helps explain almost everything, from the smug expression on his face to the way in which, as governor of Texas, he signed all those death warrants without losing a second’s composure.

Manu Chao: The bandana plays on
Independent, by Nigel Williamson - Welcome to the strange but undeniably wonderful world of Manu Chao. It turns out to be a perfectly timed moment to meet this small man, in his mid-forties, who’s dressed in sawn-off denims and a defiantly proletarian flat cap. His accented English makes him sound almost exactly like José Mourinho.
