Question: 'Wondrous Life' Explores Multinationality

Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details.

Novelist Junot Diaz's first novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao explores the complexities of living in two cultures at once.  Set in both the United States and in the Dominican Republic, the novel follows the story of Oscar Wao in prose that frequently mixes Spanish and English in the same sentence.Note: Contains language that some may find offensive. 'GhettoNerd at the End of the World' 1974–1987 the golden age Our hero was not one of those Dominican cats everybody's  always going on about—he wasn't no home-run hitter or a fly bachatero, not a playboy with a million hots on his jock. And except for one period early in his life, dude never had much luck with the females (how very un-Dominican of him). He was seven then. In those blessed days of his youth, Oscar was something of a Casanova. One of those preschool loverboys who was always trying to kiss the girls, always coming up behind them during a merengue and giving them the pelvic pump, the first nigger to learn the perrito and the one who danced it any chance he got. Because in those days he was (still) a "normal" Dominican boy raised in a "typical" Dominican family, his nascent pimp-liness was encouraged by blood and friends alike. During parties—and there were many many parties in those long-ago seventies days, before Washington Heights was Washington Heights, before the Bergenline became a straight shot of Spanish for almost a hundred blocks—some drunk relative inevitably pushed Oscar onto some little girl and then everyone would howl as boy and girl approximated the hip-motism of the adults. You should have seen him, his mother sighed in her Last Days. He was our little Porfirio Rubirosa.4 All the other boys his age avoided the girls like they were a bad case of Captain Trips. Not Oscar. The little guy loved himself the females, had "girlfriends" galore. (He was a stout kid, heading straight to fat, but his mother kept him nice in haircuts and clothes, and before the proportions of his head changed he'd had these lovely flashing eyes and these cute-ass cheeks, visible in all his pictures.) The girls—his sister Lola's friends, his mother's friends, even their neighbor, Mari Colón, a thirty-something postal employee who wore red on her lips and walked like she had a bell for an ass—all purportedly fell for him. Ese muchacho está bueno! (Did it hurt that he was earnest and clearly attention-deprived? Not at all!) In the DR during summer visits to his family digs in Baní he was the worst, would stand in front of Nena Inca's house and call out to passing women—Tú eres guapa! Tú eres guapa!—until a Seventh-day Adventist complained to his grandmother and she shut down the hit parade lickety-split. Muchacho del diablo! This is not a cabaret! It truly was a Golden Age for Oscar, one that reached its apotheosis in the fall of his seventh year, when he had two little girlfriends at the same time, his first and only ménage à trois. With Maritza Chacón and Olga Polanco. Maritza was Lola's friend. Long-haired and prissy and so pretty she could have played young Dejah Thoris. Olga, on the other hand, was no friend of the family. She lived in the house at the end of the block that his mother complained about because it was filled with puertoricans who were always hanging out on their porch drinking beer. (What, they couldn't have done that in Cuamo? Oscar's mom asked crossly.) Olga had like ninety cousins, all who seemed to be named Hector or Luis or Wanda. And since her mother was una maldita borracha (to quote Oscar's mom), Olga smelled on some days of ass, which is why the kids took to calling her Mrs. Peabody. Mrs. Peabody or not, Oscar liked how quiet she was, how she let him throw her to the ground and wrestle with her, the interest she showed in his Star Trek dolls. Maritza was just plain beautiful, no need for motivation there, always around too, and it was just a stroke of pure genius that convinced him to kick it to them both at once. At first he pretended that it was his number-one hero, Shazam, who wanted to date them. But after they agreed he dropped all pretense. It wasn't Shazam—it was Oscar. Those were more innocent days, so their relationship amounted to standing close to each other at the bus stop, some undercover hand-holding, and twice kissing on the cheeks very seriously, first Maritza, then Olga, while they were hidden from the street by some bushes. (Look at that little macho, his mother's friends said. Que hombre.) The threesome only lasted a single beautiful week. One day after school Maritza cornered Oscar behind the swing set and laid down the law, It's either her or me! Oscar held Maritza's hand and talked seriously and at great length about his love for her and reminded her that they had agreed to share, but Maritza wasn't having any of it. She had three older sisters, knew everything she needed to know about the possibilities of sharing. Don't talk to me no more unless you get rid of her! Maritza, with her chocolate sk

Question: The Charity That Just Gives Money To Poor People

represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on npr

For more of our reporting on this story, please see our recent column in the New York Times Magazine, and the latest episode of This American Life. There's a charity called GiveDirectly that just gives money to poor people in Kenya. No strings attached. People can spend the money on whatever they want, and they never have to pay it back. The idea behind this is straight out of Econ 101: Poor people know what they need, and if you give them money, they can buy it. But many people in the charity world are skeptical of what GiveDirectly is doing. They say people will waste the money or become dependent. We recently traveled to Kenya to see how the program was going. We talked to a man named Bernard Omondi who used the money — $1,000, paid in two installments — to buy a used motorcycle. He uses it as a taxi, charging his neighbors to ferry them around. Before he had the motorcycle, he says, he sometimes worked as a day laborer, but often couldn't find any work at all. We talked to several other people who started small businesses. One family bought a mill to grind corn for their neighbors; another started selling soap and cooking oil. All of the people who got money from GiveDirectly lived in mud-walled houses with grass roofs. Many of them spent part of the money on metal roofs to replace the old, grass roofs. As it turns out, grass roofs are not only leaky, they're also oddly expensive: They have to be repaired several times a year, which requires buying a special kind of grass. Buying a metal roof costs more up front, but it's cheaper in the long run. GiveDirectly uses a Kenyan mobile money system that makes it cheap and easy to send money to anyone with a cellphone. (The group gives cheap phones to people who don't already have them.) Mobile money is spreading to other countries, and the people who started GiveDirectly think giving cash could become one of the major ways people in richer countries help people in the developing world. If giving cash does prove to work, it will raise an awkward question about some of the other charities out there: Maybe they'd do more good if they took the money they're spending and just gave it to the poor. We'll have more on that question later today on All Things Considered. RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:  Here's an idea for how to help poor people in the developing world: skip donating food and clothing, forget digging wells and building schools - just give them the money. That's what an American charity organization called Give Directly is doing. This year, it's giving away $5 million to individuals in Africa. The money is not a loan. Recipients do not have to pay it back. They can spend it however they want, no strings attached. Jacob Goldstein and David Kestenbaum with our Planet Money team went to Kenya to see how it's going. DAVID KESTENBAUM, BYLINE: The idea behind GiveDirectly is simple: poor people know what they need. If you give them money, they can buy it. JACOB GOLDSTEIN, BYLINE: There is one sort of obvious downside, which is if you give people money and let them spend it on whatever they want, they can spend it on whatever they want. CAROL BELLAMY: Cigarettes, alcohol, weapons. KESTENBAUM: This is Carol Bellamy, former director of UNICEF. BELLAMY: Just gambling it away - all the kinds of things you don't want to have happen with money that just you find in your pocket. KESTENBAUM: Is it fair to say that most of your colleagues in the charity world would be skeptical of this idea? BELLAMY: I think they are. KESTENBAUM: That seems to be true. When we got to Kenya, we talked to charities there, and people told us giving money could create dependency or recipients would mean well but they'd spend it badly. And inevitably, someone brought up the whole give a man fish thing. ALFRED OKAI ODUNGO: I would rather teach them how to fish than to fish for them. KESTENBAUM: This is Alfred Okai Odungo(ph) with a charity called SANA. He also said this other thing. He said, maybe I'm wrong. ODUNGO: I'm curious. I would want to see how it is working. If it proves to work, we would be very, very grateful. KESTENBAUM: So, we hired an interpreter and we went to see how it was working. (SOUNDBITE OF DOOR CLOSING) GOLDSTEIN: Kenya has this amazing mobile banking system that lets you send money to anyone with a basic cell phone. So, sending money to people in Kenya is really easy. But actually going to talk to them, still really hard. (SOUNDBITE OF CAR GOING OVER BUMPS) GOLDSTEIN: We drive down a main road, past a sign that say equator, then we turn down a series of dirt roads...

Question: Monarch Butterfy Population Falls To Record Low, Mexican Scientists Say

Monarch butterflies that once covered 50 square acres of forest during their summer layover in central Mexico now occupy fewer than 3 acres, according to the latest census. The numbers of the orange-and-black butterflies have crashed in the two decades since scientists began making a rough count of them, according to  Mexico's National Commission of Natural Protected Areas. At a news conference Wednesday, the commission said the count was down 59 percent from December 2011 levels, when the insects filled 7.14 acres of fir trees in central Mexico. "We are seeing now a trend which more or less started in the last seven to eight years," Omar Vidal, the head of the World Wildlife Fund's Mexico operations, said in an interview with The New York Times. Although insect populations can fluctuate greatly even in normal conditions, the steady downward drift in the butterfly's numbers is worrisome, he said. The Associated Press quotes experts as saying the decline in the Monarch population now marks a statistical long-term trend and is no longer seen as a combination of yearly or seasonal events. Why is it happening? Vidal points north, to the monarchs' summer home in the U.S. Midwest. The farmland there once provided plenty of milkweed sprouting between rows of corn and soybean. But the heavy use of genetically modified, herbicide-tolerant crops has allowed farmers to wipe out milkweed and eliminate the monarchs' main food source. In an interview with the Times, Chip Taylor, director of the conservation group Monarch Watch at the University of Kansas, said the Midwest milkweed habitat "is virtually gone. We've lost well over 120 million acres, and probably closer to 150 million acres." Taylor says the record-breaking heat in North America last summer was also a factor.

Question: Jobless Claims Fell By 12,000 Last Week

The number of Americans filing first-time claims for jobless benefits fell by 12,000 last week, to 367,000 from 379,000 the week before, the Employment and Training Administration just reported. The agency also said that "the 4-week moving average was 375,750, a decrease of 2,000 from the previous week's  revised average of 377,750." According to The Associated Press, "when applications stay consistently below 375,000, it usually signals that hiring is strong enough to lower the unemployment rate." At 367,000, claims are around the lowest they've been since mid-2008. Bloomberg News adds that:  "Companies are slowing the pace of firing as the world's largest economy picks  up, a necessary step toward bigger gains in employment. Economists forecast a  Labor Department report tomorrow may show employers boosted payrolls in January  and the jobless rate held at an almost  three-year low."  That January employment report is due at 8:30 a.m. ET on Friday. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the jobless rate was 8.5 percent in December.

For more, Farai Chideya talks with Emira Woods, co-director of Foreign Policy in Focus at the Institute for Policy Studies. FARAI CHIDEYA, host:   This is News & Notes. I\'m Farai Chideya.   The U.S. military is expanding its footprint in Africa, and that\'s got some people worried. Plus a new study show some hopeful signs in the quality of African governance. We\'ve got that and more in out Africa Update with Emira Woods, she\'s co-director of Foreign Policy in Focus at the Institute for Policy Studies. Hi, Emira.   Ms. EMIRA WOODS (Co-Director, Foreign Policy in Focus, Institute for Policy Studies): Hey, Farai.   CHIDEYA: So last week, the U.S. African military commander, AFRICOM, took over all U.S. military operations in Africa. Before AFRICOM was created a year ago, the American military involvement was split between the European Command, Central Command, and Pacific Command. Those are all different command units overseeing different aspects of the military by geography. Now, AFRICOM is headed by a four star general, William Ward. He says AFRICOM represents part of a new U.S. strategy to engage with Africa.  General WILLIAM WARD (AFRICOM): I think there was a misperception that the command was being stood up to establish large bases, garrisons on the continent of Africa, bringing in large numbers of troops. Not the case at all. We\'re not a command that\'s going to have squadrons of airmen and battalions of soldiers and garrisons of other troops on the continent of Africa. We\'re not going to militarize the continent.  CHIDEYA: What do you think people on the continent of Africa are making of this question, you know?  Ms. WOODS: I think people see this as an expansion of the U.S. military footprint on African soil. They see it as the U.S. interested in Africa, because of all of these strategic assets. Clearly oil is top of the list, with 24 percent of U.S. oil now coming from the African continent. Controlling oil is key for this administration and for the U.S. in general. You know, and Farai, I think the other issue people are concerned about is that the Bush administration is interested in countering China and creating a presence that would counteract the influence of China that\'s expanding on the continent. And of course the last issue is around this so-called war on terror, where people see Africa as the next frontier in the so-called war on terror.   And so there\'s a tremendous amount of skepticism, in fact, throughout the continent. Voices of resistance from governments, from non-governmental organizations really, throughout the continent really, saying, what is this? At a time where there is a global financial crisis, when people are facing not only the fuel crisis, but food, global food crisis, this is the last thing that Africa needs. More support training equipment for militaries on the continent, and increasing, also, the U.S. military\'s footprint there.  CHIDEYA: Let\'s talk about governance. Now, in much of sub-Saharan Africa, there are questions of transition, leadership, accountability. But according to a new report by the Ibrahim Index of African Governance, there has been an improvement since 2006. The best-governed countries, it says, were South Africa, Botswana, Mauritius, Seychelles.  The worst included Somalia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Chad, Sudan and Angola. So explain a little bit more about how you can even come up with an index of good governance.  Ms. WOODS: Well, you know, this is a very wealthy business man, Mo Ibrahim, who has decided to create a prize for leadership in Africa, and he\'s decided to give the prize to these heads of state that he and a cohort of others deem worthy. And so the Index is meant to take a basket of sort of political goods, in terms of transparency, of accountability, and to put a stamp of approval on who\'s performing well and who\'s not. I guess I have to say I found it interesting that one of the key countries, Equatorial Guinea, that many say is at issue in terms of human rights violations and, you know, it\'s interesting that that was off the list. It\'s quite ironic, you know, that some countries, particularly countries that are oil exporters, interestingly enough, Farai, didn\'t quite make it to the list. So I think it is encouraging that this index has shed light on some of the positive gains on the continent, but I think it is also interesting who\'s left off the list.   CHIDEYA: So you\'re saying that could have been not quite fair?  Ms. WOODS: Well, I think clearly when it comes to governance, we need to have people say, you know, people within the country having their vote, determining their leaders, holding those leaders accountable. That\'s the best barometer of good governance, you know.

Question: Why The U.S. Census Starts In Alaska's Most Remote, Rural Villages

Ever since Alaska joined the union as the 49th state in 1959, the most remote parts of the most northern state have gotten a head start on the national head count. The tradition is set to continue with the 2020 census, which is kicking off next Jan. 21 in southwest Alaska's Toksook Bay. The small village on the Bering Sea has been selected as the first community to be counted for the census, the Census Bureau announced in October during the annual convention of the Alaska Federation of Natives in Anchorage. "We look for villages that are off the road system as a place to start the census here in Alaska," explains Carol Gore, a self-described "forever Alaskan of Aleut descent" who chairs the Census Bureau's National Advisory Committee on Racial, Ethnic and Other Populations. "When the ground is frozen" For most households in the U.S., the bureau is planning to start mailing out forms and letters for the upcoming head count a few weeks ahead of April 1, 2020, the official Census Day.  In rural Alaska, however, the mail system can be unreliable. More than 80 percent of communities in the state are not connected by roads or highways. One of the bureau's latest census innovations – an option to fill out an online questionnaire – throws another "curveball" at what's known as Bush Alaska, adds Gore, who also heads the Cook Inlet Housing Authority in Anchorage. "There are vast areas of Alaska that don't have good internet connection," she says. "They may have one computer in their community, and that's at the school." To meet the constitutional requirement of counting every resident, the bureau has learned that the key in remote Alaska is to have snow boots on the ground. Census workers have to be deployed months ahead of Census Day so they can knock on doors before the snow and ice are melting during the spring thaw.  "The best time to get to those communities is usually in the winter, when the ground is frozen [and] when you might have more than one means of travel," Gore says. "Often it's a combination of dog sled or snow machine travel or bush plane to get into a community." "One size fits all" does not apply While Alaska tops all of the states in terms of area, it ranks among the least populated with just over 710,000 residents living on more than 586,000 square miles of land, according to the 2010 census. Any shift in its population directly impacts how many congressional seats and Electoral College votes – as well as how much federal funding – the state receives.  Its longtime champion on Capitol Hill, the late Republican Senator Ted Stevens, pushed to make sure every Alaskan was counted, recalls A. Mark Neuman, who served as the Census Bureau's director of congressional affairs during the lead-up to the 1990 census.  "He wanted to impress upon us the importance of doing things differently in Alaska," Neuman says. "'One size fits all' did not apply in terms of the census to Alaska. That was the message from Senator Ted Stevens." For the first census of Alaska's statehood in 1960, the bureau trained school teachers by mail so that they could start conducting the census in their villages as early as January. Later, the bureau started hiring other local residents as census workers in what Neuman says was once considered a unique approach. "To make sure that the person knocking on the door for the census looked like and sounded like the person answering the door, that's how you get an effective count, a full count in the hardest-to-count communities," he says. "The luckiest people in the world" In Toksook Bay, that will mean hiring workers who can speak the local Alaska Native language, Yup'ik, says Robert Pitka, tribal administrator for the Nunakauyak Traditional Council, which governs the Nunakauyarmiut Tribe of Toksook Bay. Pitka says he expects to see a bump up from Toksook Bay's 2010 population count of 590. That could bring in more federal funding for education and other public services in the village, which is made up of about 130 homes. "We have young families, and because our size is growing, there is more need in the village for housing," he explains. "Housing is very important."  Still, whatever changes the 2020 census will show, Pitka says he hopes the people of Toksook Bay will continue carrying on the traditions of their ancestors, who settled in the treeless, desert-like Alaskan tundra. "They survived for thousands of years, and we are here today because of them," he says. "When you look at the world and all the starving and suffering, I would say the Eskimos are the luckiest people in the world because we can survive off the land." "I should be here" For Diana Therchik's family, surviving in Toksook Bay requires spending summers fishing. "Each family fishes for herring, and once gutted, we braid them with grass and hang them to dry," Therchick, a lifelong Toksook Bay resident, explains. "That will be one of the staple foods for the whole winter." Unlike in some other rural Alaskan villages, Therc

Question: Carbondale Limits Number of Residents Per Square Foot

Many towns and counties across the country are enacting stricter laws regulating how many people can live together in a home.

Now, Carbondale, home to a large number of Latino immigrants, has begun enforcing its own anti-crowding measure. Aspen Public Radio's Sarah Hughes reports for KCFR News.

Question: Downtown Chronicles: Close to Home

Poet Lewis MacAdams lives in downtown Los Angeles and writes about things that happen there. In today's Close to Home tale, he finds a kindred spirit in a red-tailed hawk that shares his neighborhood. ALEX CHADWICK, host:  Here in southern California, somewhere between the high rises in the downtown streets of Los Angeles, a poet finds evidence of untamed wildlife and a kindred spirit. Here's the latest installment of our "Close To Home" stories by Lewis MacAdams.  (Soundbite of hawk)  LEWIS MACADAMS: A pair of re-tailed hawks set up for business in my corner of downtown L.A. Almost every day I see them perched on the railing of a fire escape on the top floor of the sewing(ph) building across the street. I'd say their presence is a blessing and a curse.  (Soundbite of hawk)  MACADAMS: Death from the sky for the local pigeon population, grown fat from the garbage strewn across the sidewalks. A blessing and a gift for me, who loves hawks, admires them. It's tough, fellow city dwellers, animal spirits who often visit me in my dreams. When I see one dive or soar or circle overhead, I take note of what I'm thinking and seeing and doing at that instant, as if to underline an event. My writing desk is next to a pair of seven-foot high wooden windows. Yesterday morning, I looked up just as a red-tail swooped by on the other side of the dusty glass, less than a foot away from me, its fierce eye pinning me in its glance.  (Soundbite of hawk)  MACADAMS: I've always dreamed of becoming a falconer, a blindfold wrapped around my wrist, its claws gripping my leather-gloved thumb. This is the closest I've ever been. There's been so much rain, this morning was the first chance I've had to open my windows all week. A few minutes ago, I heard a high-pitched whistle that I thought was the airbrakes on a bus, one of the 11 lines that stops on this corner. But it wasn't. It was the red-tail, my spirit brother, circling high above the downtown high rises, calling across the central city for its mate.  (Soundbite of hawk)  CHADWICK: Poet Lewis MacAdams lives in downtown Los Angeles where he writes what he calls his "Close To Home" stories.  Day to Day is a production of NPR News with contributions from Slate.com. I'm Alex Chadwick  MADELEINE BRAND, host:  And I'm Madeleine Brand.

Question: Weekly Standard: Violent Games Are No Fairy Tale

Jeffrey H. Anderson was the senior speechwriter for Secretary Mike Leavitt at the Department of Health and Human Services. On Monday, in the case of Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association, the Supreme Court struck down a California law prohibiting the sale of violent video games to children. In a 7-2 holding authored by Justice Antonin Scalia (with Justices Alito and Roberts concurring and Justices Thomas and Breyer dissenting), the Court ruled that video games enjoy essentially the same constitutional protection as books, with violent video games being, in Scalia's estimation, much like modern day Grimm's Fairy Tales. Of course, there is very little similarity between reading (or, for that matter, watching film adaptations of) Snow White or Cinderella and deciding whether to murder, disembowel, or rape one's victim in a video game (all of which, as Justice Alito details, are features of some of these games). That the Court's majority fails to see this distinction shows how inapt it is to have that body engage in such line-drawing for an entire republic. Further demonstrating this, Scalia also compares such video games to The Odyssey, and he somewhat mystifyingly declares that literature and video games are similarly "interactive." In his opinion, Scalia expresses support for Court precedent, saying that states can lawfully prevent sexually explicit material from being sold to children, while at the same time maintaining that states cannot ban games that (among other things) involve having children play the role of sexual predator.  The former, according to Scalia's moral compass, is "obscene," while the latter is not.  Needless to say, this distinction is not found in the Constitution. In dissent, Justice Breyer asks, "But what sense does it make to forbid selling to a 13-year-old boy a magazine with an image of a nude woman, while protecting a sale to that 13-year-old of an interactive video game in which he actively, but virtually, binds and gags the woman, then tortures and kills her?" Constitutionally, this case hinges on the First Amendment's protections of freedom of speech and of the press. When contemplating video games, few people likely think of the terms "speech" or "the press"  —  and for good reason. Most video games are not, at least principally, a form of either. Sure, they may involve or include some degree of speech, but if everything that involved or included speech were categorized as enjoying First Amendment protections, then nearly everything that is currently illegal would thereby become legal. The Constitution wisely carves out protections for the spoken and written word, the two principal forms of language and communication  —  particularly of political communication. Beyond that, it offers no express guarantee of freedom of expression. Such a guarantee would necessarily have to be qualified, as few would tolerate expression in the forms of, say, flying a plane into the World Trade Center, painting graffiti on a public monument, or even urinating on a public building. Justice Scalia's response  —  much like when he signed onto Justice Brennan's 5-4 opinion in the flag burning case of Texas v. Johnson  —  is that essentially the only real harm is physical harm, and therefore almost no expression can be outlawed unless it causes physical harm. This contention, however, reflects Scalia's personal opinion  —  and the opinions of some justices before him  —  not the text of the Constitution. Instead, the Constitution says, "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press." It's quite a jump from these words to claiming that a state (not Congress) or a locality cannot prevent the sale of indecent or morally warping video games to minors. The Court's role, as understood by the Founders, was to apply the law as written and to void clearly unconstitutional acts  —  the clear-violation standard. But when a violation was not clear, the Court was to defer to legislatures, the elected representatives of the people. Beyond the spoken and written word, the Founders wisely left it up to such legislative bodies to determine what forms of expression, if any, should be made illegal. That is the Constitution's allocation of power in this realm. The Court's ruling shifts power from the states to the federal government, and from the elected branches to the unelected branch, all under the guise of protecting the individual  —  and the Constitution itself. But such a ruling protects neither the individual nor the Constitution. Rather, it cheapens the former and misapplies the latter, depriving the people in the several states of the right to promote a virtuous citizenry and a decent and livable society. People who didn't like California's video game policy could always have fled the state, but no American can flee Justice Scalia's opinion.

Question: Report: Obama Wanted Bin Laden Dead, Not Alive

President George W. Bush famously said he wanted Osama bin Laden "dead or alive." For President Obama, on the other hand, it wasn't a binary choice. He just wanted the world's most famous terrorist dead. National Journal's Yochi Dreazen, Aamer Madhani and Marc Ambinder report that capturing bin Laden and bringing him back alive was apparently never a serious option for Obama's national-security team. Killing him in an audacious attack was always the more elegant solution to the problem he represented. In the first place, if bin Laden had been captured, the problems related to how to interrogate, imprison and try him could have made the controversial decisions around the handling of 9/11 planner Khalid Sheikh Muhammad pale by comparison. Then there was the justice-delayed-is-justice-denied aspect of the bin Laden situation. He had already evaded Americans for ten years. The National Journal reports that Obama's team was loath to let many more years pass before bin Laden paid for all the death and destruction he ordered and inspired. Read More An excerpt:  The administration had both practical and moral reasons for wanting the al-Qaida leader dead.  Few individuals have been responsible for the deaths of more American civilians than bin Laden, who had orchestrated the September 11 attacks as well as a variety of smaller deadly strikes against American targets. For many at the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency who had spent nearly a decade hunting bin Laden, killing the militant was a necessary and justified act of vengeance. Capturing bin Laden alive would have also presented the administration with an array of nettlesome legal and political challenges. The White House would have needed to decide where to imprison him, how harshly to interrogate him about potential new attacks, and how – and when – to put him on trial for the killings of the thousands of Americans who died at his direction.  The National Journal reporters also write that the swift justice dispensed to bin Laden is part of a larger approach of Obama's national security team in which the use of deadly force has been stepped up on their watch. They provide the following example:  In the fall of 2009, for instance, JSOC and the CIA located one of the administration's most-wanted men, Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, the leader of the al-Qaida affiliate in East Africa, as he drove though Somalia.  Nabhan was suspected of orchestrating a string of deadly attacks in Kenya in 2002 as well as being involved in the 1998 bombings of the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, attacks that left 250 dead. Military commanders told Obama administration officials that commandos could try to take Nabhan alive or kill him from the air. The White House told JSOC they wanted Nabhan dead. A short time later, U.S. helicopters carrying SEAL commandos fired missiles into Nabhan's car, killing him instantly.  So even though bin Laden was unarmed when he SEAL's encountered him, that apparently mattered little. The mission was clearly a straightforward one. And it was accomplished. Obama's decision to kill instead of capture bin Laden and other terrorist suspects alive certainly runs counter to the image of the president many people hold in their heads as a relatively soft academic type lacking the toughness to deal roughly with U.S. enemies. Those who still believe that, including some heads of state, may be recalibrating today. From the point of view of Obama and his national security team, that's probably not a bad outcome.

Question: It's ScuttleButton Time!

Represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth

While you're gearing up for the Political Junkie D.C. Live Road Show on Wednesday evening — see below for details — why not try and solve this week's ScuttleButton puzzle first? ScuttleButton, of course, is that once-a-week waste of time exercise in which each Monday or Tuesday I put up a vertical display of buttons on this site. Your job is to simply take one word (or concept) per button, add 'em up, and, hopefully, you will arrive at a famous name or a familiar expression. (And seriously, by familiar, I mean it's something that more than one person on Earth would recognize.) For years, a correct answer chosen at random would get his or her name posted in this column, an incredible honor in itself. Now the stakes are even higher. Thanks to the efforts of the folks at Talk of the Nation, that person also hears their name mentioned on the Wednesday show (by me) and receives a Political Junkie t-shirt in the bargain. Is this a great country or what? You can't use the comments box at the bottom of the page for your answer. Send submission (plus your name and city/state — you won't win without that) to politicaljunkie@npr.org. (Why do people keep forgetting to include their name and city/state?) And, by adding your name to the Political Junkie mailing list, you will be among the first on your block to receive notice about the column and the puzzle. Sign up at politicaljunkie@npr.org. Or you can make sure to get an automatic RSS feed whenever a new Junkie post goes up by clicking here. Good luck! By the way, I always announce the winner on Wednesday's Junkie segment on TOTN. But with it now less than a week until the next show, your window for getting your answer in is smaller. Here are the buttons used and the answer to last week's puzzle: It's Sinatra's World/We Just Live In It — There was only one Frank Sinatra. (Thanks, Sandy.) We for Lee — Lee Alexander, the mayor of Syracuse, sought the Democratic nomination for the Senate from New York in 1974. My President (photo of Bill Clinton in his hippie-but-didn't-inhale days) — Never could determine if this was a pro- or anti-Clinton button. Bonner County Sportsmen's Assn/Idaho (picture of a trout and a deer) — Not exactly a political button but I didn't have much choice. I Don't Give a Damn — This could just be a "whatever" button, or it could be a response to the "Give a Damn" advertising campaign by the New York Urban Coalition, circa 1968-ish. So, when you combine Frank + Lee + My + deer + I don't give a damn, you may just very well end up with ... Frankly My Dear I Don't Give a Damn. As told by Rhett Butler to Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind. Watch that scene now on YouTube: It's always so exciting to see Clark Gable solve ScuttleButton puzzles. Anyway, the winner, chosen completely at random, is ... Del Atwood of New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, Canada. Del, who just so happens is a judge on the Provincial Court and Family Court of Nova Scotia, gets not only the coveted Political Junkie t-shirt — but the Official No Prize Button as well! And here is the link that spells out the details to Wednesday evening's Junkie road show event in Washington, D.C.

Maria Altmann spent the past 60 years of her life in Los Angeles. The Viennese native had fled the Nazis, and her wealthy family's possessions were looted. But in 2004, Altmann won a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case that allowed her suit against the Austrian government to recover some of the looted art to go forward.

Question: Baseball's Demographic Shifts Bring Cultural Complexities

This week, baseball fans celebrated Jackie Robinson Day, 67 years after Robinson became the first black player to participate in a Major League Baseball game. Coincidentally (or not), the racial, ethnic and cultural dynamics of the sport today are the topics of much discussion in this week's news. Decline In Percentage Of Black Players According to an article published this week by the Pew Research Center, the proportion of black baseball players in the major leagues has steadily declined in recent years. Jean Manuel Krogstad writes:  "The share of black MLB players reached a high of 18.7 percent in 1981, according to the Society for American Baseball Research. In 2014, 8.3 percent of players on opening day rosters were black. Before the most recent decade's decline, the last time baseball had such a small share of black players was 1958."  Michael Brendan Dougherty recently speculated at The Week that this phenomenon was partially caused by teams pushing to move their stadiums to the suburbs — and away from black people. ESPN writer Howard Bryant posed another possible explanation. He says the increasing focus on sports stats and analytics is also keeping blacks out of the loop:  "I told [Oakland A's general manager and sports-analytics pioneer Billy Beane] that I did not believe he was a racist, but the end result of the way baseball teams were increasingly being built — targeting college players over high school prospects when 2 percent of college players are African-American, relying heavily on Latin American players, and reducing the emphasis on the stolen base in a power era — would yield fewer black players."  According to Pew, as the share of blacks has declined, whites are taking up a larger slice of the MLB pool — even though they are actually becoming a smaller share of the country's population. Hispanics, on the other hand, are largely overrepresented in baseball — in 2012, they accounted for nearly 27 percent of all baseball players while composing only 17 percent of the country's population. According to the Society for American Baseball Research, that same year nearly 85 percent of all Hispanic players were natives of either a foreign country or a U.S. territory such as Puerto Rico. 'This Team Has Too Many Latinos On It To Win' Baseball clubhouses might be diversified — but they aren't necessarily integrated. In a column published this week, retired MLB pitcher Dirk Hayhurst wrote about a sharp divide that separates many dressing rooms into two factions: Latino players vs. everyone else. Part of the divide, says Hayhurst, is discrimination. Racist humor, according to Hayhurst, is ever-present in baseball clubhouses — but he claims there are also race-specific notions that create bias among the agents and managers that oversee teams. Hayhurst writes about the comments made by a Toronto Blue Jays scout while he was covering the team just last year:  " 'This team has too many Latinos on it to win,' mused the old scout beside me. 'Get too many of them together on a club and they take over. The club divides, has no sense of itself. They might not be terrible. I mean, them boys can play, but they ain't gonna win no championship. They're too emotional to go the distance.' "  But he says part of the divide is cultural — and can arise early in a player's development. He writes that American players are taught certain on-field etiquette rules from an early age — to stay cool after they hit home runs and abstain from talking to members of the opposing team. Latino players, Hayhurst writes, are often perceived as "flashier." Adrian Burgos Jr., a history professor and author of Cuban Star: How One Negro-League Owner Changed the Face of Baseball, recently told my colleague Shereen Marisol Meraji that in a Latin country like Cuba, players are focused on entertaining crowds. "They want to make the crowd be loud, so they play up the highs and the lows," Burgos said. "But those behaviors that work in Cuba become the basis of how they get chastised in the American press; they're 'too loud, too celebratory.' " But according to Hayhurst, it's not just the media picking on Hispanics. He says many up-and-coming white players aren't amused by those attitudes, either.  "And for many freshly drafted whites, selfish and worried about who deserves to go forward, the thinking is that these new Latin teammates — the ones that can't speak the language, write a check or read a physical evaluation form, but can effortlessly showboat on the ball field — don't deserve it.  Yasiel Puig's Journey, And Trans-Atlantic Human Trafficking Burgos made his comments in the context of a profile of Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig, who's one of the hottest (and most controversial) names in baseball. But according to a new report, less than two years ago Puig was being held hostage in Isla Mujeres, off the coast of Cancun, accompanied by "a boxer, a pinup girl, and a Santeria priest, the latter of whom blessed their expedition wi

Question: NPR News Agenda from the Friday Editors' Meeting

represent the subtitle to find a news title on npr with less details

The country must be preparing for the three-day weekend ahead. Not too much urgent breaking news so far today.  Peter Overby is on hand in the trial of David Safavian, former government official accused of lying to investigators in connection to the Jack Abramoff case.  Two foreign chiefs, England's Blair and Mexico's Fox, are still visiting. Fox is out west and Blair is at Georgetown University, probably still answering questions from the Bush/Blair mea culpa press conference last night...  There was a lot of talk this morning about following up on the significance of yesterday's guilty verdicts in the Enron trial.  And the Senate has confirmed Gen. Michael Hayden to lead the CIA.  But for what may be lacking in urgent news, there seem to be a host of fascinating enterprising stories on their way for today's shows and throughout the weekend:  The science desk is looking into a new study about whether marijuana causes cancer.  News and Notes is planning to examine what happens to stars when their 15 minutes of fame is over. They'll be using a rapper from the group Arrested Development as a case in point. Once a Grammy winner, the artist seemingly disappeared, but it turns out he, like many former U.S. celebs, is a huge celebrity in Japan with many more years of celebrity to milk.  And we're planning a story for today on new ring tones for phones and text message devices that only teens can hear. The theory is that as we get older, we lose our ability to hear high frequency sounds. Using the high-pitched ring tones, kids can alert each other to messages without alerting adults, like teachers. Editors talked about the need to play a sample of the ring tones on air -- until it was astutely noted that most NPR listeners, if they're anything like everyone in the 9:30 meeting, will hear only silence. They're going to give it a try anyway, and hope people don't think our satellites broke.

Question: Democrats' Race Heats Up; Nader Announces Bid

Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details.

The battle between Democratic presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama took a nasty turn over the weekend. On the Republican side, front-runner John McCain seems to have weathered media scrutiny over his relationship with a lobbyist. And Ralph Nader says he'll run for president again as an independent candidate. Senior news analyst Cokie Roberts talks to Steve Inskeep about the latest developments in the race. : Joining us now as she does each Monday is NPR news analyst Cokie Roberts. Cokie, good morning. COKIE ROBERTS: Good morning, Steve. : Well, Hillary Clinton has lost the last several contests to Barack Obama. Eleven in a row, I believe. What does she do now? ROBERTS: I had the opportunity to interview Billie Jean King recently, and she said, you know, I see my whole life going down the drain. You know, a cute, young guy comes in and sweeps away all the hard work that the older woman has done, and there is a lot of that sentiment out there and I think that if Mrs. Clinton can tap it, that might be something. She also has to hold the Hispanic vote, although that seems to be eroding according the polls. And she seems to be floundering around looking for some theme that works while attacking Obama - over the weekend she said, shame on you, Barack Obama, sounding kind of like everybody's mom. : Well, is Obama giving her any openings? ROBERTS: There's also some warning signals in the voters he is attracting. I mean the big African American turnout is very helpful and that will be helpful in the general elections, the reliable Democratic vote. But the independent vote is not and often doesn't show up. The same thing is true about young people. And even white men, who he's been attracting of late, are certainly not reliable Democratic voters though. They tend to vote Republican - almost overwhelmingly Republican. So, you know, there are some big warning signs for the Democratic Party in these primaries. : And Democrats who are already worried about being unified in the fall now have to think about Ralph Nader again. ROBERTS: I don't think they have to think too hard about Ralph Nader. (SOUNDBITE OF LAUGHTER) ROBERTS: His vote went from 2.7 percent in 2000 to 0.3 percent in 2004. And Democrats are still mad at him because they think that his votes in Florida in 2000 made the difference in the presidential campaign. I mean they say, you know, he gave us Justices Roberts and Alito. But he - he says it's all about ballot access. There's a good deal of evidence it's all about ego. : So Nader says he's going to be running, Clinton and Obama still running hard, and on the Republican side, John McCain is trying to get past this report of the New York Times looking at his past dealings with lobbyists. ROBERTS: Well, the New York Times story, for the moment, has redounded against the New York Times. There's a lot of criticism of the paper, including by its own public editor, but that has focused mainly on the innuendos about a sexual relationship between McCain and this female lobbyist. Other news organizations have now picked up the theme of McCain's dealings with lobbyists, and whether that has any legs, as they say, going into the general election, we'll see. Probably not would be my guess. : Okay. That's analysis, as we get every Monday morning, from NPR's Cokie Roberts.

He and his son waded into the lunch-time crowds at a London park and began handing out free books. Within a few minutes, they had given away 30 novels.  Nearly all of the takers were women, who were "eager and grateful" for the freebies while the men "frowned in suspicion, or distaste." The inevitable conclusion, wrote McEwan in The Guardian newspaper: "When women stop reading, the novel will be dead."  McEwan\'s prognosis is surely hyperbole, but only slightly. Surveys consistently find that women read more books than men, especially fiction. Explanations abound, from the biological differences between the male and female brains, to the way that boys and girls are introduced to reading at a young age.  One thing is certain: Americans—of either gender—are reading fewer books today than in the past. A poll released last month by The Associated Press and Ipsos, a market-research firm, found that the typical American read only four books last year, and one in four adults read no books at all.  A National Endowment for the Arts report found that only 57 percent of Americans had read a book in 2002  a four percentage-point drop in a decade. Book sales have been flat in recent years and are expected to stay that way for the foreseeable future.  Among avid readers surveyed by the AP, the typical woman read nine books in a year, compared with only five for men. Women read more than men in all categories except for history and biography.  Hemingway as \'Chick-Lit\'  When it comes to fiction, the gender gap is at its widest. Men account for only 20 percent of the fiction market, according to surveys conducted in the U.S., Canada and Britain.  By this measure, "chick-lit" would have to include Hemingway and nearly every other novel, observes Lakshmi Chaudhry in the magazine In These Times. "Unlike the gods of the literary establishment who remain predominately male—both as writers and critics—their humble readers are overwhelmingly female."  Book groups consist almost entirely of women, and the spate of new literary blogs are also populated mainly by women. The Associated Press study stirred a small buzz among some of those bloggers.  "I\'ve read at least 100 books in the past year. Seriously. Probably more like 150 to 200," a user named Phyllis wrote on the literary blog Trashionista. "My husband? I\'m guessing zero, unless you count picture books and comic books he has read to the kids." "We see it every time in our store," says Carla Cohen, owner of the Politics & Prose bookstore in Washington, D.C. "Women head straight for the fiction section and men head for nonfiction."  "I know that we certainly have more women than men customers," concurs Mitchell Kaplan, owner of Books & Books, an independent bookstore in the Miami area. "But I don\'t have any wisdom about why that is."  Kaplan speculates that women may be buying books for men, but he concedes that could be simply wishful thinking.  It\'s All in Your Head Theories attempting to explain the "fiction gap" abound. Cognitive psychologists have found that women are more empathetic than men, and possess a greater emotional range—traits that make fiction more appealing to them.     Some experts see the genesis of the "fiction gap" in early childhood. At a young age, girls can sit still for much longer periods of time than boys, says Louann Brizendine, author of The Female Brain.  "Girls have an easier time with reading or written work, and it\'s not a stretch to extrapolate [that] to adult life," Brizendine says. Indeed, adult women talk more in social settings and use more words than men, she says.  Another theory focuses on "mirror neurons." Located behind the eyebrows, these neurons are activated both when we initiate actions and when we watch those same actions in others. Mirror neurons explain why we recoil when seeing others in pain, or salivate when we see other people eating a gourmet meal. Neuroscientists believe that mirror neurons hold the biological key to empathy. The research is still in its early stages, but some studies have found that women have more sensitive mirror neurons than men. That might explain why women are drawn to works of fiction, which by definition require the reader to empathize with characters.  "Reading requires incredible patience, and the ability to \'feel into\' the characters. That is something women are both more interested in and also better at than men," says Brizendine.  Rekindling the Reading Magic There are exceptions to the fiction gap. More boys than girls have read The Harry Potter series, according to its U.S. publisher, Scholastic. What\'s more, Harry Potter made more of an impact on boys\' reading habits. Sixty-one percent agreed with the statement "I didn\'t read books for fun before reading Harry Potter," compared with 41 percent of girls. For publishers and booksellers, that offers a ray of hope—not only that the fiction gap migh\' != \'We look at the origins of three new media giants: Before They Ruled The World, They Were Grad Students; The Very Long Road to Very Short Messages; and Turning Nerds with Webcams Into Stars (Who Are Still Nerds With Webcams).\'', 'From A Concert Recorded']"

Question: Sizing Down Food Waste: What's The Worst Thing To Toss?

Sometimes I feel like a broken record at home: "Let's eat the leftovers for dinner, so they don't go to waste," But inevitably, Sunday night's pasta and meatballs get tossed out of the refrigerator to make way for Friday night's pizza. Now scientists at the University of Minnesota offer up another reason to put those leftover meatballs in the tummy instead of the garbage: There are hidden calories in the beef that go to waste when you toss it. These invisible calories could help out the 1 in 6 Americans who don't get enough to eat each day, just as easily as the meatballs themselves. And when you add them all up, these hidden calories are enough to help the world feed a rapidly rising population, ecologists report Thursday in the journal Science. About a third of all food grown around the world never gets eaten. Americans alone waste up to about 1,200 calories per person each day. But not all these calories are equal, when you look at how they hurt the global food supply, says ecologist Paul West, who led the study. Discarding a pound of boneless beef effectively wastes 24 times more calories than discarding a pound of wheat, West and his team report. Why? Because the beef also contains all the calories in the corn that fed the cow. "If you throw out some arugula at a fancy restaurant in upstate New York, it doesn't have much impact on the world's food system," West says. "But throwing out a small steak has a huge impact — maybe more than all the arugula in the restaurant put together." Wasting other animal products, such as chicken, eggs and dairy, has less effect on the global food supply than beef, but still more than vegetables and grains, the study found. (Not too mention all the extra water, fertilizer and energy needed to raise animals for food.) West and his colleagues have been searching for new ways to increase the world's food supply. "We have a huge challenge of feeding people now and in the future," he says. "The way we grow and consume our foods is unsustainable." The team quickly zeroed in on curbing food waste as a top strategy. "At least in terms of calories per person, cutting food waste is more of an immediate opportunity to feed more people than increasing crop yields around the world," West says. The U.S., China and India together throw out enough food each year to feed more than 400 million people, the team found. And the biggest contributor to that loss is beef discarded in U.S. Each day the average American throws out 290 effective calories from beef. We also waste about 550 calories from chicken, pork and grains. On the flip side, India wastes the least amount of food and meat of the three countries. Each Indian, on average, effectively tosses out about 44 calories a day, mostly rice and wheat. China fell between the U.S. and India. Each Chinese person wastes about 280 calories of wheat and rice every day. But the Chinese also love pork. And each person effectively tosses 200 calories from pork each day. "The food service industry in China also has really high amounts of waste," West says. "It's a cultural standard, when you're having an event, to honor all the people that come with a seven- to nine-course buffet. All that food doesn't get eaten." Which reminds me: I've got some leftover broccoli with beef in the refrigerator that I am definitely eating tonight.
