...were women. And what they did, you might say, two of them did for love. One of the soldiers, Megan Ambuhl, took the photos under the "direction" of her future husband Charles Graner, who was having an affair with the "star" of the pictures, Lynndie England. (England later gave birth to a baby fathered by Graner.) Like an indie film crew, this ragtag Baghdad gang was making its own little digital war movie: Atrocity...
When MIT professor and meteorologist Edward Lorenz realized in 1961 that long-term weather-forecasting was all but impossible, the discovery chagrined weathermen. But his underlying idea--that even the most minute aberrations could have vast repercussions on larger systems--gave birth to the modern field of chaos theory. He captured the public's imagination with the elegant concept in a 1972 paper titled "Does the Flap of a Butterfly's Wings in Brazil Set Off a Tornado in Texas?" Though Lorenz initially used a seagull as his example, he settled on the more poetic creature, giving rise...
...computer screen, Rubinger clicks back to earlier photos from Israel's painful birth: a joyous swarm of men waving an Israeli flag on top of a British armored vehicle after the U.N. has announced its decision to set up a Jewish state; a fiercely beautiful Israeli woman soldier throwing a grenade; poor Moroccan migrants as they glimpse Israel from a ship's deck; a gaunt refugee bringing home live chickens for the Sabbath meal; David Ben-Gurion looking like a defiant Moses.

If one argues that abortion should be safe and legal, then he cannot, in the same breath, insist that he hopes abortion is also rare...
...this seems somehow wrong.Indeed, the overbooked generation stands the risk of becoming the overwhelmed generation if this trend continues. We have grown up without a conception of spare time. Left to ourselves, we fidget and grow paranoid. It always seems that there is something we should be doing.Hence the birth of the productive-unproductive summer, the overbooked generation’s answer to relaxation. A typical productive-unproductive summer allows us to do something we enjoy because of its underlying academic or charitable purpose. Often it is as much work as a real job. Our desire to travel across Europe...
