From these studies, Damasio, who is chairman of the University of Iowa's neurology department, concludes that consciousness is a layered edifice, like some Mayan pyramid or Mesopotamian ziggurat. It is based on an inchoate feeling of self that arises from the brain's detailed "diagram" of the body. Damasio says this diagram, which is continuously revised by the senses, can be thought of as the "protoself"; it props up the rest of the structure...
...project's $3 billion mandate: sequence the entire 3 billion-letter human genome with high precision as a prelude to figuring out eventually what protein each gene produces and for what purpose (see diagram). The process can be likened to mapping out a route from San Francisco to New York City by walking the entire distance and noting every hill and valley along the way. It's slow but precise. After eight years, some 7% of the human genome has been sequenced in encyclopedic detail...

At the hypotenuse is Linda Tripp, the go-between who first alerted Starr to Monica Lewinsky's false affidavit in the Jones case. Around this triangle is a circle, a group of loosely affiliated Clinton haters who fostered ties among...
...intelligences. Take a typical project described in a book published by SkyLight. To teach children about the oceans, it is suggested that they write about cleaning a fish (tapping the linguistic intelligence), draw a sea creature (spatial), "role play" a sea creature (bodily-kinesthetic), use a Venn diagram to compare and contrast ships (logical), tap glasses with different amounts of water (musical), design a water vehicle in a group (interpersonal) and choose a favorite sea creature (intrapersonal). All these activities will take up a lot of time, and they will teach children very little about the ocean...
