...Instantly you have a million questions. By which I mean: three. 1) Where did the creature come from? (The Hudson River? Or the Arctic, thawed out by climate change and sent south on tidal currents? Possibly Hoboken?) 2) What event roused it from a snooze that may date back to the dinosaur era?

"I organized a gay film festival in July of last year, and the authorities warned us not to advertise the location and the date of the festival anywhere. Not even on the Internet." Despite the restrictions, though, the festival was allowed to go ahead (unlike some previous years) and was actually well attended. Since the outbreak of the SARS epidemic in 2004, the government has completely reversed its policy on AIDS, and Cui notes that...
