Overproduction ruins music.” The intimate street performances allow Lord’s audience to connect with her on a level that other venues do not permit. To know the effect of her playing on people is simply to observe the droves of travelers, their eyes twinkling and often teary, who are magnetically drawn to her favorite spot on the Park Street platform...
Prudent or not, implant technology is racing ahead with bionic speed. Kevin Warwick, a professor of cybernetics at the University of Reading in England, is working on the next step. In a few weeks, he will receive an implant that will wirelessly connect the nerves in his arm to a PC. The computer will record the activity of his nervous system and stimulate the nerves to produce small movements and sensations; such an implant could eventually help a person suffering from paralysis to move parts of the body the brain can't reach. If all goes well, Warwick will...

He was almost child-like in his eagerness to connect with the next generation of Chinese asking him questions first in their native tongue and then again in nearly flawless English. To the frustration of his translator, Bush interjected new remarks while she was catching up with his old ones. The message was blunt: liberty and religious freedom will make China a great power. But Bush also leavened his moralizing. "America has its own faults and problems," he told the audience packed in the narrow marble...
