3. Thomas Barnett on Egypt:

Our military's relationship with the Egyptian military is long and deep and broad — as in, tens of billions of dollars of support since the mid-'70s. There's just no way Washington will stand by and watch all that gear fall into the Brotherhood's hands (like in '79), so rest assured that a vast network of personal relationships — as in, general to general — is being aggressively massaged right now. And remember: The Egyptian military has the ultimate veto, and the Pentagon holds the purse strings.

1. From an article in Rolling Stone about Stieg Larrson:

As a boy, Stieg lived in his grandparents' cottage in the woods. At the time, an old Swedish law was still in effect that barred children from attending school until they were seven. Written a century earlier, the law was intended to protect little boys and girls from being devoured by wolves while walking through the forest on the way to school.

Also, there was a serial killer in Sweden known as The Laser Man.
