Opsenar i svetski lik
Večernje novosti - IAKO smo možda mislili da o Josipu Brozu znamo sve, velika gledanost dokumentarca „Tito: crveno i crno“ pokazuje nam da interesovanje za lik i delo Maršala ni danas ne prestaje. Ova TV serija je, po rečima scenariste i režisera Miće Miloševića nastala od „kreativnog i medijskog entuzijazma, a za program Javnog servisa“. U 24 epizode (poslednja će biti emitovana 23. maja) stalo je stotinak sagovornika (citiranih i živih), obilje dokumentarnih materijala (neke kadrove videćemo premijerno), koji svi zajedno osvetljavaju Titov put, od Jajca 1943. pa sve do smrti.

Lopovi i razbojnici
Večernje novosti - PREMA najnovijim statističkim podacima, u Srbiji raste broj maloletnika osuđenih zbog nasilja! Na ovo je nedavno na skupu o maloletničkoj delinkvenciji, upozorio profesor Pravnog fakulteta u Beogradu Đorđe Ignjatović. On je izneo podatak da je za poslednjih 15 godina, nešto manje od 4.000 maloletnika godišnje prijavljeno zbog izvršenja krivičnih dela. Najviše maloletnih počinilaca krivičnih dela zabeleženo je 1993. godine - 6.316, dok ih je najmanje bilo deset godina kasnije - 2.415.

Depression costs over half a billion a year
Helsingin Sanomat - Increasing numbers of employees in Finland are taking early retirement resulting from depression. Last year a new record was set when 4,300 people went on disability pension for depression, representing growth of more than nine per cent from the previous year. Depression and other mental health disorders are already as common a reason for disability pension as the traditional primary cause - diseases of the bones and muscles.

Suckers: How Alternative Medicine Makes Fools Of Us All
New Humanist, by Natalie Haynes - For many years, the scientific community has watched the rise of shamanism in our culture with a weary shrug. You can’t really blame them: whenever they suggest that there’s no evidence for homeopathy, or that it might not actually be a very good idea to self-medicate with St Johns Wort when you use an oral contraceptive, they receive a barrage of abuse from people who simply don’t want to know. Scientists are often, in my experience, charming, funny and brilliant, but somehow in the media they become abrasive, shrill and out of touch.

The myth of trafficking
New Statesman, by Brendan O’Neill - Most migrant women, including those in the sex industry, have made a clear decision, says a new study, to leave home and take their chances abroad. They are not “passive victims” in need of “saving” or sending back by western campaigners.

Are we losing in Afghanistan?
Telegraph Blogs by Daniel Hannan - Adam Holloway argues in the current Spectator that Britain cannot win the war in Afghanistan. Our presence, he believes, is causing net radicalisation: we are, bluntly, creating more militants than we kill. We should give up on our more ambitious hopes for drug eradication and multi-party democracy and women’s rights. Our best bet is to reach some sort of accommodation with the black-turbaned fundamentalists.

Štapom po šargarepi
Večernje novosti - OSIM nagoveštaja da će uskoro biti sastavljena lista uslova, koje Srbija treba da ispuni pre nego što se za njene građane uvede bezvizni režim, odnosno potpuno podigne rampa za putovanja u zemlje Evropske unije, sa neformalnog samita ministara EU nije bilo konkretnih ponuda. Istina, sa Brda kod Kranja stigla je još jedna, ko zna koja u nizu, verbalna podrška Srbiji, ali ona nije pretočena u novi sporazum, niti se zna dalja sudbina već parafiranog Sporazuma o stabilizaciji i pridruživanju.
