...both a personal vision and a design for living in a highly computerized and networked age, Release 2.0 is brimming with autobiographical details of the author's ascent in a largely male-dominated world of venture capitalists and upstart corporate analysts. Such reminiscing remains appropriate in the first chapter, where Dyson speaks of "How [she] got the story and learned to love markets." Her attempts to find a vocational niche in Moscow and her participation on the board of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an online civil liberties organization, require less of the conversational tone used in discussing her childhood dinners...
Rosenthal, who is Oliver professor of hygiene, will continue in his post at UHS during his term, which began Monday. He has long been an active member of the cancer society since receiving a research grant from the Massachusetts chapter in the early...
Critics of the university's admission process insist they also favor diversity. That usually sounds strained coming from affirmative-action foes. But Cohen points to his own lengthy progressive resume. He once headed the A.C.L.U.'s Ann Arbor chapter and was known during the Vietnam War era as "the long-hair guy" for his work lobbying public schools to let students with shoulder-length hair attend class.

A few weeks ago, Corn learned that she is listed as a contributor in the new Joy, even though she was paid...
Sour grapes? Spilt milk? Some observation about what you have to do to make an omelet? Lunching at Restaurant Daniel, a four-star establishment in Manhattan ("I never cook anymore"), Guarnaschelli dismisses Corn's complaint: "I thought maybe she could deliver a great chapter. It wasn't what I could use. That's all there is to it." What about all the turmoil surrounding the preparation of the new Joy, most of which has been blamed on her? "I'm emotional, but I'm not difficult," she counters. "I'm dramatic, I'm intense, but people like to work with...
