Other countries can perhaps emulate some of these traits, but none can replicate the creative cocktail that is America.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That might be true today. But could it be that American achievements reflect the past more than predicting the future? It’s important to remember that many of the metrics that place the United States so far ahead are actually lagging indicators. Nobel Prizes tend to be given to scientists in their 70s, toward the end of their productive lives. What’s happening among scientists in their 30s? Who’s making the discoveries today that will receive Nobel Prizes four decades from now?&lt;/p&gt;”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Fareed, &lt;a href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/222836"&gt;making us nervous&lt;/a&gt;.

The date stuck in my mind because, as it happens, it was also my birthday. The butterfly, with its otherworldly beauty and silence, is, of course, a common metaphor for the soul. Its emergence from entombment as a chrysalis may have inspired ideas about human resurrection. In the newsletter of the Compassionate Friends, a support group for bereaved parents, the sudden appearance of butterflies (and birds, cloud formations, and particular songs on the radio) is sometimes cited as evidence of communication from beyond the grave. So let me be clear about where I stand: not only do I not believe it, but I can’t understand why anyone would take comfort from it. I would hate to think of Max, with his fierce intelligence and tenacity, reduced to sending mute signals by way of insects.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I was put in mind of this by reading a new book by Dinesh D’Souza, provocatively titled ‘Life After Death: The Evidence,’ and I can’t help wondering what D’Souza, a well-known conservative political commentator starting a second career as a Christian apologist, would make of my experience. To be consistent, he would have to say nothing at all: it is what scientists call anecdotal evidence, useless by definition, and D’Souza’s book attempts to build a case on unshakable scientific grounds for the survival of consciousness beyond death.&lt;/p&gt;”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Jerry Adler, who is e&lt;a href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/220296"&gt;xactly the person you want to review the D’Souza book&lt;/a&gt;.
