...those firms whose name you keep noticing, attached to projects that look interesting. It's interesting all by itself. One thing distinguishes SHoP right away: it's not just a firm; it's a family. The five principals are Gregg Pasquarelli and his wife Kimberly Holden plus William and Coren Sharples, who are also husband and wife, and William's identical-twin brother Christopher. All of them are graduates of the Columbia University architecture program. Four of them were in the same 1994 graduating class. Three of them have the same birthday. (You can guess two of those...
...recording the voices of 49 men in the Tanzanian Hadza community and comparing their reproductive histories, anthropology graduate student Coren L. Apicella discovered that men with deeper voices fathered two more children on average than men with higher voices. The reason for this, however, is still unknown...

In his new book, How to Speak Dog, Stanley Coren claims that a dog has the intellect and vocabulary of a two-year-old child--but humans must learn to interpret their canine's nonverbal noises, tail wags and other body language.

Halpern of California State University and Stanley Coren of the University of British Columbia, reported in the New England Journal of Medicine last week that righties live longer than lefties. The researchers examined the death certificates of 987 men and women in Southern California and found that the mean age at death was 75 for right-handed people and 66 for lefties. One reason for this discrepancy may be that left-handed people seem to be more susceptible to fatal accidents (7.9% vs. 1.5%), groping, as they...
...more gigantic, more ridiculous and more murderous than any other real-life figure; if he did not exist, a novelist could scarcely invent him. As it happens, Big Daddy has already inspired what amounts to a budding literary subgenre. In Britain, two small satirical paperbacks by Punch Columnist Alan Coren, The Collected Bulletins of President Idi Amin and its sequel, The Further Bulletins etc., have sold 750,000 copies. Within the past year, at least four fictional thrillers (Target Amin, The Killing of Idi Amin, Excellency and Crossfire) and a play (For the West, by Michael Hastings), dealing either with...
