...swivel its head to follow the teacher. Scanning and printing features allow the child to receive and hand in homework assignments. The pilot project is still being refined. Next step, the creators say, is a robot that can go into the halls too, so that the ailing student can chat with friends between classes. --By Fran Stewart
...follows Real Time with Bill Maher (Fridays, 11:30 p.m. E.T.), the new vehicle for the pundit manque who expanded the possibilities of the bad chat show with Politically Incorrect, the issue-oriented roundtable that exploited the comic possibilities of letting, say, Tom Arnold hold forth on Kosovo. The live show was not available for preview, but it will in part adapt PI's discussion format, with more serious guests and fewer B-list stars. That fits the earnest air of Maher-tyrdom the host has cultivated since PI was canceled, after his controversial post-9/11 charge that...
...molecule is so beautiful," Watson once observed in a chat with TIME. "Its glory was reflected on Francis and me," and the two scientists have spent their lives since then trying to live up to its standards.

...stories abound. When choosing a guide, make sure he or she has been accredited by the Hotel Management and Tourism Training Centre, is familiar with the area you will be visiting and can arrange emergency-helicopter evacuation service should a member of your party be injured.

Beware of guides who tout their own services. Kamal Bhatta, of Beyond the Limits Trek and Expeditions, provides excellent value, with the added benefit of knowing which teahouses serve...
This is the largest biological experiment in the history of the world," shouts Leif Salford, an unusually animated neurosurgeon at Lund University, in Sweden. Salford's not talking about his own work. He's talking about the 1.3 billion people around the world who regularly chat away on their mobile phones, "freely pressing radiological devices to their brains." Salford's own research involves much smaller samples - of mice, not men - but it is raising big questions about the safety of human mobile-phone use. In a paper that will be published in April by the U.S. journal of the National...
