...first way is by making the technology way better. After all, 3-D entertainment is nothing new. The early 1950s were flooded with 3-D movies, and the technology has made an occasional comeback ever since. (The highest-grossing 3-D film, oddly, was 1970's The Stewardesses, which made $27 million.) Each time, though, it's done in by the same complaints: poor image quality and headaches and eyestrain from extended viewing. Early reviews of the new models from Sony and Panasonic suggest they've solved the problem. Both use glasses that contain tiny shutters, opening and closing...

...look at young children, that's exactly where they start. But then by thinking about it, we develop a fairness ideal and a norm, where we say it's better in society if things are fairly distributed. Part of our response at the moment to Wall Street and the bonuses of the bankers is still that simple response: What are they getting, compared to what we are getting?

...that, is flawed. Because nature is not like that. If you look at our close relatives, you see animals who survive by cooperating. Yes, there is competition. There is dominance, hierarchy. They sometimes fight. They sometimes even kill each other. But they stick together because they survive together much better than alone...

...Schuchat and other government officials are getting closer to putting a better solution in place. As Schuchat made clear on Sept. 24 in a briefing at the White House, the flu vaccine is set to arrive in the next few weeks, sparking a national vaccination campaign that will be run by state and local governments. Early tests on the vaccine have been promising: there are no red flags about safety, and studies suggest that many Americans will be able to build up sufficient flu resistance with just one dose, instead of the two or three doses that were initially predicted...
