SWITZERLAND HSBC Implicated in Massive Tax Evasion Scandal Leaked documents show evidence of accounts linked to royal families, dictators, celebrities, arms dealers, and others. GUINEA Unreported Ebola Infections Make Accurate Reporting Difficult Health workers have finally gained access to remote parts of the country where villagers had previously refused them access. SWEDEN Microchips Do Away With Office Badges and Passcodes Workers implanted with the tiny device can open doors and make photocopies with the quick wave of a hand.
