...military buildup, Taiwan's ongoing bid for U.N. recognition, the Olympic torch route, to name a few - cultural exchanges have never been healthier. Cloud Gate is just one example. The largest group of terracotta-army artifacts ever to leave China (116 in total) is another: it was on exhibit last month at Taiwan's National Museum of History, before embarking on a world tour that will include London's British Museum and a sweep through the U.S. The exchanges are also taking place with avant-garde productions. Taipei drumming troupe U-Theatre recently wrapped an islandwide tour of A Touch...
...goodwill is being reciprocated in Taiwan, where the suspicion that works from the mainland have ulterior political motives has almost entirely dissipated. When the terracotta army made its first trip to Taiwan in 2000, some in President Chen Shui-bian's independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party interpreted the exhibit as a veiled attempt by Beijing to whip up pro-China sentiment. This time around, no one so much as raised an eyebrow. "People used to ask why bring this or that production over," says Wu Jing-jyi, who formerly chaired the National Chiang Kai-shek Cultural Center...
What makes the glutamate-related gene especially suspect is the particular people it affects the most. OCD strikes males and females about evenly, but early-onset forms tend to target boys more than girls. This is particularly true in cases in which the boys also exhibit the involuntary tics or vocalizations often associated with Tourette's syndrome. Interacting with the glutamate gene are three genes related to androgens, or masculinizing hormones. Interacting with those is another gene that has been implicated in Tourette's.

...behalf. The U.S. is also a strong supporter of Bulgaria thanks to its vociferous backing for U.S. operations in Iraq and elsewhere. (President Bush has called for the nurses' release.) But Western countries are also especially eager to smooth over any lingering problems with Gaddafi. Libya remains 'exhibit A' in the Western attempt to convince the world and notably Iran that giving up nuclear weapons' ambitions has its rewards. New oil deals with British and American oil companies are also being inked. On the same day that the judicial proceedings against the nurses ended this week, Washington took another important...
...most famous émigré was Stewart Maiden, who left Carnoustie in 1907 for East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, where he was studied and imitated by a young Bobby Jones. Maiden's swing, passed on to Jones, had significantly more rotation than today's players exhibit - generations of golfers have further refined the Carnoustie technique - but its fundamental utilization of upper-body rotation instead of a full-body twist remains unchanged. Jones, the only golfer ever to win four major championships in the same year, would later write: "Stewart had the finest and soundest style I have ever seen...
