...intelligence has been cloned and that a human smart pill for routine production of kiddie geniuses lies just around the millennial corner. None of this punditry, however, will bear any relationship to current realities or reasonable prospects for the short-term future. Even so, the mice studied by Tsien et al. could help us correct two common errors in our thinking about genetics and intelligence...
...ever been thus. Bob Hope's gagmen were awakened at 3 a.m. for emergency jokes; James Allardice wrote the droll TV monologues that made Alfred Hitchcock a household deity. But these scribes were as anonymous as the Roman speechwriter who whispered into the dying Caesar's ear, "Say, 'Et tu, Brute?'" So it's nice that Vilanch, a wide guy with a blond mop that makes him look like an obscene Senor Wences puppet, is now (as one of his 1,500 T shirts reads) ALMOST FAMOUS, camping it up with Whoopi on the syndicated hit Hollywood Squares, for which...

Photo "evidence" of the parchment-skinned ET can be seen on Bell's busy website www.artbell.com (44 million hits since January '97). When he is asked about the alien in the freezer, Bell laughs heartily. "Do I have doubts about that story? Yes! Was it entertaining? Oh, absolutely!" Bell, 54, offers a forum for all manner of amazing...
This Parisian sophistication and sense of aesthetics continues to attract painters, dreamers and tourists as it has for centuries. But in the new France that brought us Liberte, Egalite et Fraternite, these vestiges of the older aristocratic days are more than a little surprising among those who advocate "social justice" at all costs. Would the leaders of the French revolution be pleased to learn that, near the Place de la Concorde, where they beheaded Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI for their decadence and officially ended the absolute rule of the monarchy, there now stands one of the most expensive hotels...
