...says. After several sessions of listening to Mozart, "he's now a very active speaker who responds immediately to whatever is said to him," Hindley says. "He's taken very profound steps forward." By far the most widespread - and most disputed - recent claim is that Mozart can enhance your brain power. That notion was first given scientific support in a 1993 article in Nature, which found that college students who listened to the first movement of Mozart's Sonata in D Major for Two Pianos performed better on a spatial reasoning test that involved mentally unfolding a piece of paper...
...general increase in IQ. Today, she's even revising her own initial conclusions in the light of subsequent research by others, working on a book tentatively titled Music and the Mind Beyond the Mozart Effect. Listening to Mozart, she now reckons, may not be as important for the brain as the general sense of mood of arousal brought about by doing something that is enjoyable. Campbell, who is based in Colorado, isn't fazed by her attitude, nor by the open scorn he encounters in the academic community. "I don't think we can prove anything...

Because it overshadows the true, uplifting spirit of the event and the unifying currents of brotherhood, tolerance...
Israeli voters still want to be led by Ariel Sharon. That seemed to be the message from an opinion poll conducted Thursday afternoon, as the Prime Minister lay comatose in a Jerusalem hospital, fighting for his life after eight hours of surgery following a massive brain hemorrhage. Kadima, the party Sharon recently created in his own image, continues to poll some 40 seats in the Knesset, more than double the share of its nearest rivals in Labor and Likud. But with doctors indicating that there is only an extremely slim chance that the 77-year-old Sharon will resume...
