...still be harrowing. In front of the red-walled Mahayana Buddhist Temple, Chinese immigrant workers, college students and tourists are lining up for $15 tickets to Boston. A bus rolls up and fills up in a matter of seconds--leaving 20 passengers stranded. The Chinese ticket taker struggles to explain to the frustrated customers, "No seat, no seat." Finally, the bus driver relents and allows another person to squeeze on, just before it pulls out into traffic...
...economy, especially in the all-important energy sector. "He's one of the smartest people in Russia," says William Browder, founder of a Moscow-based investment fund. But last week Illarionov, 44, abruptly resigned. "When I took the job, we spoke about pursuing a liberal economic policy," he explained. "Now, the state has evolved in quite the opposite direction."

The first...
...That's not to say there isn't a tiny handful of actual scientists who back ID. Yes, evolution explains a lot, they say, but some things-the eye, for example, or the whiplike tails on some bacteria-are just too complex to have evolved. To which the vast majority of biologists say nonsense. We don't have remotely enough information to make such a statement. Moreover, if ID is a valid theory on its own, it has to make testable predictions. "It's too complex to explain" is not a prediction...
