The Sunday Times

It might actually be easier to read the Sunday Times online instead of buying it. Still, there is that hands-on feel, especially when you kick back, relax with newpaper in hand and get lost in another world.. Here’s some of my reads from last week (not all, I opened at least 2 dozen browser tabs looking at the above page!)

• Focus: Has science created a dilemma society cannot solve?
• Leading article: Send more troops
• Andrew Sullivan: Bush pushes but he fails to slow Kerry’s momentum
• ‘Miracle babies’ hope
• Speed not glamorous
• ‘Recycled’ Irish waste ends up someone else’s headache – so much for the race against waste
• Recycling? Just dump it on the Chinese
• Irish dental surgeries harbour hosts of bugs – I’m giong to the dentist on Tuesday, ooer.
• Observatory closes doors on astronomy
• Comment: Brenda Power: It’s not the state’s job to guarantee a quality life
• LA law, anarchy in the UK – “John Harlow came back from Los Angeles for a holiday in Britain to find himself the victim of random violence as he strolled past St Paul’s cathedral in daylight. It’s safer over there, he says”
• Save the world: forget about global warming – “Climate change is the focus of world leaders’ attention at the expense of soluble problems like hunger and disease, says Bjorn Lomborg”
• Special Report: Space tourism ready to take off
• EU migrants flee Ireland’s cost of living – “Reports from those returning to their home countries suggest that a key factor in their decision was the high cost of living in Ireland, which is significantly greater than accession states, even when higher wages are taken into account.”
• Irish Outlook: Damien Kiberd: Don’t be blinded by poverty claims – it’s all relative. Get rid of the super rich and we’ll all “feel better off” won’t we? “The logic is: if there are fewer rich people and you have a modest income, then you might feel relatively better off.”
• Personal View: Eircom is stifling the Irish economy
• If you think you know mortgages …
• Private dancers – this is only one reason you should buy the newspaper!
• Confessions of a tourist: Caught by a sucker punch
• Jeremy Clarkson: Seven saddles but still a one-trick pony – Jeremy is as entertaining as always, beware if you’re Canadian, you might not appreciate the humour!
• Motor Sport: Fast-track out of tragedy – “Alex Zanardi was a star racing driver until losing his legs in a horrific crash. Here he tells Emma Smith how he has fought back to race again”
