If you put everything on the table to balance the budget—health care, the tax code, military spending, farm subsidies, etc.—then raising the retirement age or otherwise cutting Social Security stops looking so good.

Newsweek finds out on an adventure with True Prep scribe Lisa Birnbach in--where else?--Greenwich, Conn.

Does Israel have a stranglehold on Washington, corrupting America’s national interests? Quite the contrary, argues Mitchell Bard. An insidious Arab lobby composed of big oil companies, weapons firms, and Middle Eastern despots is secretly conspiring to undermine decision making in the U.S. capital.

This time eight years ago, Brazilian democracy took a stress test—and passed with distinction. The onetime radical union leader Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva took charge of Latin America’s largest nation and impressed the world with his moderate politics and prudent economics. That was then.

In celebrated Chilean author Roberto Bolaño’s 1998 novel "The Savage Detectives," a brilliant but depressive group of young poets roams through Mexico City, writing and drinking at bars across the frenetic capital. Nearly all those poets, modeled on real writers, were men. Today, the Mexican literary stars frequenting the same bars are just as likely to be women.

Fighting the high rate of drowning among African-American children.

The country's economy may be booming, but the Chinese have to look no further than America to see what will happen if they don’t curb their energy appetite and address the growing gap between rich and poor.

With Ford's restructuring, and the bankruptcies of General Motors and Chrysler, the U.S. auto industry has shrunk and cut costs to the point at which it can make money on a smaller, more realistic number of sales. Is this a new normal?

Vanity Fair’s profile of the ex-governor reminds us that even when it seems we’ve accepted that a woman can have a job and still love her children, some people still think it’s fair to judge a female public figure on the basis of what kind of parent—and wife—she is.

As Obama’s summer of discontent marches into autumn, Hillary Clinton is looking rather pleased with herself. Perhaps she finally found the silver lining to losing the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.

Is offshore drilling just too dangerous? That’s what many may be wondering after yesterday’s fire on Mariner Energy's offshore oil platform, only a month after BP’s spurting well was finally plugged.

Friday's new economic numbers weren't all bad news. But three days before Labor Day, unemployment is up again, and the pace of the recovery is far short of what the White House had planned.

Struggling to penetrate DeMille’s façade, Eyman never gets much beyond establishing that the filmmaker was an autocrat on the set and a kindly man at home (albeit one with three mistresses). But there is almost no time—or reason—to tabulate flaws. Told at a breakneck pace, "Empire of Dreams" resembles nothing so much as a DeMille movie—gaudy, corny, and enthralling.

When the eyes of the world are not on them, the hunters typically select the best dolphins to sell, and harpoon the others "until the waters turn red with blood," according to AP.

It had all the trappings of a globally significant confab: big-deal appearances (by Google, the BBC), a weighty theme (“the digital age”), and speechifying by international pooh-bahs. Rupert Murdoch, the CEO of News Corp., even delivered a peppery keynote, vowing war on “content kleptomaniacs.”

A spending bonanza before the tournament made it look as though the government cares about glitzy showmanship more than its workers. This week their frustration boiled over.
