That scene, which I have replayed many times since 1963, perfectly illustrates two crucial facts that neurologists have come to understand in the past few years about the workings of human memory--facts that have important implications for the treatment of a variety of mental disorders, from post-traumatic stress to obsessive-compulsive disorder. The first is that, despite its movie-like clarity, my memory of J.F.K.'s assassination is almost certainly wrong in some details, and maybe even some significant ones. That's because I'm not simply calling up the original memory laid down in November...
...famed Chicago chef who has been a Bocuse judge. Both have high hopes for their protégé. "Gavin has the passion for French cuisine, a very good palate, and he's a master of technique and timing," says Boulud. "And he's very meticulous and detail oriented, which is crucial." Trotter, who has been following Kaysen's career since the younger chef applied for an internship in his kitchen two years ago, thinks this is the first time the U.S. has a chance to make it into the top three.

...2hr.46min. film Ratnam lays out the story with cool assurance, making room for five Rahman songs, all worth further hearings. (I can't stop humming the wedding song, and don't want to.)

Much more satisfying is an early turn...
...Cahow at the point, down to Katie Johnston in the slot, quick shot and in. Wait, Katie Johnston? Johnston is a senior forward, with a previous career high of 10 goals and 21 points. She’s on pace to shatter those bests this season—that crucial game-tying strike bumped her totals to eight goals and 15 points. Those who showed up at Bright on Friday night to witness the dazzling skills of the Olympians were surely not disappointed. They saw Vaillancourt leaping over obstacles in a rush on net, Apps uncorking a laser-beam slapshot...
Obama will also be running against the best political strategist in the Democratic Party. Bill Clinton will be able to help his wife in three crucial areas: the framing of issues, timing the dramatic arc of the campaign and damage control. Clinton is the world's best focus group: he has an innate sense of what average folks think is important and how to explain complicated things in the most accessible way. He also understands the weird chronology of presidential politics, the patience needed to last through interminable house parties and candidate forums, the fierce compression of time that will...
