...grosses don't explain why United 93, Paul Greengrass' meticulous, creepy and critically acclaimed 9/11 docudrama, failed to nab a slot.

In an e-mail to TIME, a Wikileaks organizer named James Chen wrote, "We are serious people working on a serious project... three advisors have been detained by Asian government, one of us for over six years." Yet the speculation that Wikileaks might a front for an intelligence agency is understandable, considering the recent arrival...
FROM THE LAB ROOM TO THE CLASSROOM While the scientific world grappled with the implications of Cech’s finding, colleagues at Colorado and beyond say that Cech relished the opportunity to explain that discovery—and the basics of chemistry more generally—to undergraduates at the school...
