...Warren Beatty and does yoga next to Nicole Kidman. She studies with nutty mystics in Big Sur. She rents out her house as a film location. She visits California's failed desert communities and explores its complex water-management system. (She can get a little wonky at times--"Water flow is measured in acre-feet...
...Blood flow isn't the only way your mind can blow your cover; electrical activity can too. Your brain emits signals called event-related potentials (ERPs) that can be tracked with a high-density electroencephalogram (EEG) machine and 128 sensors attached to the face and scalp. Telling the truth and then a lie can take from 40 to 60 milliseconds longer than telling two truths in a row, because the brain must shift its data-assembly strategies. In theory, if a subject truthfully answers a question related to intention (say, "Are you traveling to Miami?") and then answers a more...
...stress that creates the clues picked up by polygraphs also boosts blood flow in capillaries around the eye. A new application of thermal-imaging technology, called periorbital thermography, uses a high-resolution camera to detect temperature changes as small as .045°F (.025°C). Endocrinologist James Levine of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., co-authored a paper in the journal Nature in 2002 in which he claimed a lie-detection accuracy of 73%. Investigators at the Department of Defense Polygraph Institute (DODPI) in Fort Jackson, S.C., tell TIME they have reached...
...viewer who witnessed most of the matches, let me protest that, on the whole, the World Cup was one long soporific.

Unless FIFA takes action to improve the flow of the game-for instance, reducing the number of players to nine or 10-I certainly will not be among those who view the next series in 2010.

...those radicals' good nature. But it is of vital importance to understanding why Britain has become a key location for international terrorist activity. There are 745,000 people of Pakistani origin living in Britain, and no other nation in the developed world has to deal with the same flow of extremist information and ideologies that is transmitted into Britain, one way or another, from radicals based in Pakistan. "The big problem for the British," says a French official, "is not only the size of their mostly Pakistani Muslim population but also that those Muslims communicate better and more comfortably with...
