...anytime soon, but that's not the point. To reduce emissions, he believes, aviation will eventually need to wean itself from fossil fuels. "To make reasonable use of any alternative," he says, "we have to become lighter and more aerodynamic to reduce consumption." Solar Impulse promises to generate an array of futuristic insights - and some old-fashioned thrills along...
...French like to have it all ways. Their government spends 1.5% of GDP supporting a wide array of cultural and recreational activities (vs. only 0.7% for Germany, 0.5% for the U.K. and 0.3% for the U.S.). The Culture Ministry, with its 11,200 employees, lavishes money on such "high-culture" mainstays as museums, opera houses and theater festivals. But the ministry also appointed a Minister for Rock 'n' Roll in the 1980s to help France compete against the Anglo-Saxons (unsuccessfully). Likewise, parliament in 2005 voted to designate foie gras as a protection-worthy part of the nation's cultural...

When the General opened Pakistan's National Art Gallery in August, he was confronted with gutsy pieces tackling an array of provocative subjects - from burqas to madrasahs to militarism. He paused for a long time at Left Right, a video installation about the omnipresence of Pakistan's army by the young artist Hamra Abbas, who depicts soldiers patrolling land, sea and desert...
...more evocative title of the Adams production. In rollicking hyperbole, “Take Her, She’s Yours!,” directed by Emerson College Professor Sunil Swaroop and produced by David A. Seley, demonstrated how the doldrums of married life can lead to a disastrous array of affairs...
This telltale flicker is easy to spot even from a small, ground-based telescope. So Charbonneau is setting up an array of eight 16-in. (40 cm) telescopes on Mount Hopkins, near Tucson, Ariz., and pointing them over and over at the 100 closest M-dwarfs to see if their light dims in a repeating pattern. If it does, he won't have long to wait: a habitable M-dwarf planet would have a "year" only three or four days long, so transits would happen all the time. Things will get even easier in 2009, when NASA launches a satellite...
