Engrossed as Hawking is with his work, the authors say, "ALS is simply not that important to him." He certainly does not dwell on his handicap. His succinct, synthesized-voice comments are often laced with humor; he enjoys socializing with his students and colleagues, attends rock concerts and sometimes takes to the dance floor at discos, wheeling his chair in circles.

Cows are contributing to global warming. To a measurable extent, they are. The symbiotic bacteria that dwell in every cow's gut enable grazers to break down the cellulose in grass. As a by-product, these bacteria produce considerable amounts of methane, which, like carbon dioxide, is a heat-trapping greenhouse gas. The methane periodically gusts forth from grazing herds in the form of rumbling postprandial belches. But if cattle contribute to the global methane load, they are hardly alone. Swamps, termite mounds and rice paddies are all hosts to similar sorts of bacterial methane factories...

An engineering major at Drexel University, Pipkins is the first black ever to compete on the international luge circuit, a fact he appreciates but does not dwell on. "It just means people of any race can do any sport," he says. He is more interested in becoming the first American to win a luge medal...
