Dags att läsa artiklar, skumma igenom artiklar, hoppa över artiklar samt titta eller hoppa över alltid lika intressanta bilder som N Y Times har. Dock, att gå igenom hela N Y Times tar minst ett dygn, så det gäller att sovra. Minst plågsamt är väl att sovra bort allt som har med Republikanarnas presidentkandidat-nominerings-cirkus att göra.
Intressantast just nu är väl allt som sägs om Iran (jag skulle inte bli överraskad om det händer något dramatiskt Iran-relaterat innan sommaren).

An Engineered Doomsday
A lab-created bird flu virus needs to be destroyed, or better contained, and future research closely reviewed. "--- Scientists have long worried that an influenza virus that has ravaged poultry and wild birds in Asia might evolve to pose a threat to humans. Now scientists financed by the National Institutes of Health have shown in a laboratory how that could happen. In the process they created a virus that could kill tens or hundreds of millions of people if it escaped confinement or was stolen by terrorists.---"

A Campaign Pruned of Bushes
By FRANK BRUNI
To hear the Republican candidates speak, you'd think Ronald Reagan was the last Republican president - and that he upheld the party's current values. "--- They seldom mention Bush positively. They seldom mention Bush negatively. They also never mention the Bush before Bush — the other slice of bread in the Clinton sandwich — and have thus turned the father and the son almost wholly into ghosts. You’d think Ronald Reagan, who is invoked incessantly, was the last Republican president, and you’d think he was not only a flawless chief executive but a sinless adherent to current Republican dogma. We’ll come back to that. But after Reagan there were of course two additional Republicans over an aggregate 12 years — more than half of the last 23. The candidates almost never hark back to that.---" >> http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/08/opinion/sunday/bruni-a-campaign-pruned-of-bushes.html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha212
