...typically wakes up in his 1930s brick colonial in Wellesley between 5:30 and 6:00 a.m. to take his border terrier Tobin for a walk. Tobin, who is named after Nobel Prize-winning economist James Tobin, is the brown-furred successor to Keynes, Mankiw’s last dog. The real-life Tobin was a follower of economist John Maynard Keynes, as well...
...Humala, however, still has a long road to the presidency. First he would have to win first or second place in the April 9 vote; and then win a runoff on May 7. In the meantime, his personal and family history may dog him. He led a mini-uprising against Peru's now exiled president Alberto Fujimori in 2000, just before his government collapsed. Humala's younger brother is now in prison awaiting trial for leading his own uprising a year ago in a tiny Andean backwater town. And Humala's eldest brother, Ulises, has officially filed...
With Hwang's scientific credibility in shambles, the status of the world's most famous dog hangs in the balance. The embattled scientist maintains that Snuppy is the world's first canine clone, and he even hired an independent Korean DNA lab, HumanPass Inc., to verify that assertion. The verdict: HumanPass CEO Seung Jae Rhee told TIME last week, "There is no dispute about these results, and so I am 100% certain on Snuppy's authenticity." But since HumanPass is in essence working for Hwang, that's hardly good enough for the investigative panel at Seoul National University, which...
...Identical twins, for example, have the same nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, since they're produced when a single egg is fertilized and the resulting embryo splits in two. With a clone, the situation is different. Because the cloning process that Hwang says he used to create Snuppy involves two dogs--one for the nucleus and another for the egg--Snuppy's mitochondrial DNA should not match Tai's. That's what Rhee's scientists say they've found and what Hwang undoubtedly hopes the university and Nature will find as well. Final, ironclad proof of Snuppy's provenance would involve...
...gent who dreamed up Creature Comforts and the feature hit Chicken Run. But Park's signal contribution to stop-motion animation, as well as to an appreciation of the placid lunacies of the English middle class, is this trifecta of shorts about Wallace the inventor and his infinitely superior dog Gromit. The second film, The Wrong Trousers, is one of the great screen comedies and a tribute to man's dependence on animals...
