...South Korean scientist, cloning pioneer and Snuppy creator, Woo Suk Hwang, things keep going from bad to worse. Last month, he had to admit that as part of the groundbreaking stem cell research he published in 2004, one of his colleagues had paid some women for their egg donations, and that two of the unpaid donors were Hwang?s own junior researchers. Amid the ethics controversy that ensued, Hwang was hospitalized for extreme fatigue and exhaustion. He was released earlier this week, only to find one of his former researchers on a national newscast claiming that the history-making stem...
Facebook.com creator Mark E. Zuckerberg advised introductory programming students to “surround themselves with smart people” in a guest lecture on web development he delivered at the College yesterday. The young entrepreneur—who was a member of the Class of 2006 until starting facebook.com in the spring of his sophomore year—spoke in a Computer Science 50 (CS50) “topic session” about the application of programming knowledge to real world endeavors. “I suggest you take the hardest courses that you can, because you learn...
...Oscar talk is starting now," says Marc Cherry, creator and executive producer of Desperate Housewives, for which Huffman won an Emmy for playing an ad exec turned frustrated stay-at-home mom.

Others, of course, might argue that it completes what the Pistols' estranged ex-manager-creator Malcolm McLaren dubbed the "Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle"-he maintains that the iconoclastic band he devised from his King's Road boutique was really just an elaborate prank on the music industry. Indeed, there is more than a measure of irony in the Pistols' being anointed to the iconic pantheon of a genre they...
Several of the chosen 15 created enduring characters, styles and narratives from the golden age of the daily strip. Peanuts' Charles Schulz is represented, as are the creator-artists of Popeye (E.C. Segar), Dick Tracy (Chester Gould) and Terry and the Pirates (Milton Caniff). From the '50s, the emphasis segues to comic books and graphic novels. With Mad, Harvey Kurtzman virtually invented what would become the era's dominant tone of irreverent self-reference. He inspired several of the artists, including R. Crumb, whose exemplarily twisted panels first appeared in Kurtzman's post-Mad magazine Help!, and Art Spiegelman, whose...
