...TIME senior writer Michael Lemonick is currently writing "Echo of the Big Bang" for Princeton University. "The essence of the book is that there is a satellite currently in orbit that's measuring left-over radiation from the Big Bang, and looking at it with much greater precision than anyone has ever done before," says Lemonick. "This satellite is going to report its findings in January, and it's either going to confirm existing ideas about how the Big Bang happened, or throw 20 years of assumptions and research out the window.

And bizarrely, even as police and volunteers searched frantically on Wednesday for Elizabeth, an eerily similar drama was unfolding 210 miles...
Most Brit rock acts have become so consumed with burying their melodies that they forget to compose them. Thank you, Radiohead. Doves, a Manchester trio, is a pleasant exception, a band that actually enjoys its own tunefulness. Yes, there are echo effects, abrupt tempo changes and a few melancholy lyrics--how else would we know this is contemporary rock from England?--but songs such as There Goes the Fear, M62 Song and N.Y. reveal a sweet pop soul that is more Beatles than brooding...
