...Just like cooking, laundry is becoming an art form," says Mike Marsden, professor of cultural studies at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond. These "gourmet laundry rooms," as Marsden calls them, began sprouting up in earnest over the past year, and many have media centers with TVs and sound systems, play areas, doghouses and refreshment stations. "No one wants to do the laundry, but you might as well be comfortable while you're doing it," says homeowner Carolyn Hudson of South Shreveport, La. The laundry room in her antiques-filled ranch incorporates a cozy home office where she checks e-mail...
...Incorrect, the issue-oriented roundtable that exploited the comic possibilities of letting, say, Tom Arnold hold forth on Kosovo. The live show was not available for preview, but it will in part adapt PI's discussion format, with more serious guests and fewer B-list stars. That fits the earnest air of Maher-tyrdom the host has cultivated since PI was canceled, after his controversial post-9/11 charge that the U.S. was cowardly for bombing enemies with cruise missiles. Let's hope Maher doesn't screw up Real Time by making it responsible...

Armed with this crucially wrong information, the two began working in earnest. Conventional biochemistry had long since told scientists what DNA was made of: four types of organic molecules, known as bases--adenine, cytosine, thymine, guanine, or A, C, T and G--almost certainly strung somehow along a "backbone" of sugar and phosphate. The question was, How? "Perhaps a week of solid fiddling with the molecular models would be necessary," writes Watson, "to make us absolutely sure we had the right answer. Then it would be obvious to the world that Pauling was not the only one capable of true...
...KAAAA-CHIIING! How could U.S. publishers have been so blind? Before Shonen Jump, no one had thought to export translated versions of Japanese manga to the U.S. mass market, despite the fact that the genre?characterized by its fanciful stories and earnest, teardrop-faced heroes?has been a favorite in Japan for decades. It's not that American kids are clueless. They've been exposed to Japanese animation, or anim?, for years?thanks to the success of manga-based TV cartoons like Pok?mon and Dragon Ball, and the movies of Hayao Miyazaki. Yet no one thought manga would...
