The Hunt for the Source of Germany's E. Coli Outbreak
Germany's E. coli epidemic, which has killed as many as 15 people so

Merkel's Nose for Populism Yields Another Victory 
After Fukushima, German Chancellor Angela Merkel had no other choice
than to abandon nuclear power. Even if there are many open questions
about how the transition to a renewables-based future can be achieved,
the decision brings many benefits -- especially for the savvy chancellor
herself.

What the Mladic Arrest Means for Serbia's Future
The arrest of Bosnian-Serb military leader Ratko Mladic last week marked
the end of a 16-year manhunt and he is now to stand trial on charges of
crimes against humanity and genocide. But questions remain as to how he
was able to remain at large for so long -- and the Balkans remain
volatile.

LISTENING FOR THE ENEMY
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Giant Ears on the British Coast
The enormous concrete shells are as tall as a house, and they were
designed to listen for enemy aircraft in the 1920s and 30s. Pre-World
War II acoustic experiments led to some extraordinary architecture --
and to a remarkably effective technology which ultimately succumbed to
the invention of radar.

'A Huge Victory for the Anti-Nuclear Movement'
The government of German Chancellor Angela Merkel now has concrete plans

Berlin Exhibition Looks at the Cannibal in Everyone
If cannibals are uncivilized savages, then the rest of us are primitive
at best, according to a new Berlin art exhibition that explores the
literal and metaphorical practice of eating human flesh. It may be
taboo, but cannibalism still fascinates.
