...longer about elections. It's now about the transfer of power. Now, this transition is going to be difficult. Bob [Mugabe] is resisting. But he has no control of parliament. And the election delegitimizes him even among his supporters in the region. Everyone now realizes he is a cheat. How can he be an effective leader in those circumstances? Still, it's very difficult to fight dictatorship with democratic means. We always ask ourselves how we can do that. We're always conscious of the huge task we've set ourselves.

In the humanities and social sciences, it is well to remember, there is a man (occasionally a woman), a human type filling out your picture postcard. What does he want to read? How, in a word, can he be snowed...
...dwarf is so faint, its habitable zone is much smaller, so any planet that falls within that zone would be much closer to it than Earth is to the sun. And that, says Harvard astronomer David Charbonneau, gives planet hunters a huge advantage. "Basically," he says, "it lets us cheat...
