...decline and fall of Enron weren't just bad press and bad luck, as the two had claimed. The rot came from within. For all the Porsches parked in the company garage, it turns out Enron didn't have much in the bank. Forensic auditors have discovered that cash flow in 2000--the money left over after the bills are paid--was a negative $153 million, not the heady $3 billion claimed. The nearly $1 billion profit was bogus. (Forget 2001. Even the auditors couldn't fathom the books that year...
...years,” Reich said. These figures differ from previous estimates that the human-chimp split occurred 6.5 to 7.4 million years ago, a figure that was based on hominid fossils with distinctive human features dating from that period. “It suggests that there was gene flow after the development of human-like features, like upright walking,” Reich said. To explain the discrepancy between the appearance of human-like features and the later divergence date, the Broad researchers hypothesize that interbreeding and hybridization may have occurred. In short, early humans and chimps may have...
...private seraglio. The old man and his family have a secret: as Christian descendants of a converted Jew in anti-Semitic times, they lack "purity of blood" and soon become targets of the Inquisition.

Real-life figures stir the plot, including the poet Francisco de Quevedo and the Conde de Olivares, the powerful Philip IV Minister painted by Velázquez. The Inquisition...
...Director of Athletics Robert L. Scalise have clogged undergraduates’ inboxes, each in its own way begging students to fill out their online CUE evaluations. And while the Committee on Undergraduate Education’s (CUE) survey is far from perfect, students should heed the unending flow of admonitions. The CUE survey may need some tweaking, but it largely continues to be useful in helping students choose their courses. Students’ participation, however, constitutes only half of a successful evaluation process, and if the CUE Guide is to be as effective as possible, the Faculty of Arts...
...trials of North Koreans fleeing their country made for riveting reading [May 1]. Instead of hounding desperate refugees, the Chinese government should focus on prodding Pyongyang to open up and reform. Ultimately, only improved economic conditions under a more open system in North Korea can effectively stop the flow of refugees. If China really wants to stem illegal border crossings and help the North Korean people, a great step in the right direction would be spurring its basket-case neighbor to embrace reform and globalization rather than just providing generous aid to prop up the regime. If that happened...
