However, the presence of K4 indicates that these genes may later be activated. “For genes, this is equivalent to resting one finger on the trigger,” said Stuart L. Schreiber, Loeb professor and chair of the department of chemistry and chemical biology and an author of the study, in a statement. “This approach could be a key strategy for keeping crucial genes quiet, but primed for when...

Surprisingly, the response of film critics to these outrages has been muted. For a brief while, Ebert and Roper issued un-screened movies a “wagging finger of shame” rather than their usual “thumbs up” or “thumbs down.” However, they stopped the practice as the number of press-prohibited pictures multiplied. It is no small irony that critics—men and women...
