| Some day, Farhang Jehani might patch up the bullet holes and cover the shrapnel pockmarks. But for now they are the Leopold Cafe’s new décor. “We are going to let it be,” Mr. Jehani said over the din of his crowded restaurant, where eight people were killed in the Mumbai terrorist attacks last month. “It’s part of history”. The restaurant has become a sort of shrine of defiance against terrorism. That, at least, is how Mr. Jehani portrays it. “I want it to go on the same way, as if nothing has happened,” he said. |

| More people with eating disorders could benefit from 'talking therapies' which aim to release them from obsessive feelings, say UK researchers. They said a specially-created form of "cognitive behavioural therapy" might work in four out of five cases. At present, the treatment is officially recommended only for bulimia patients. Now, for the first time, we have a single treatment which can be effective at treating the majority of cases. Some statistics suggest that more than a million people in the UK are affected by some kind of eating disorder, the best known types being anorexia nervosa and bulimia.

| Measures to protect children with nut allergies are becoming increasingly absurd and hysterical, say experts. A peanut on the floor of a US school bus recently led to evacuation and decontamination for fear it might have affected the 10-year-old passengers.
