Just as Goya did, David Hockney is going deaf. He has been for years. It doesn't keep him out of many conversations, though. He loves to talk, and with the help of two hearing aids, he can follow the flow of most discussions well enough. He's always happy to talk about art.

...idea of combing through populations for disease genes isn't unique to deCODE. Britain's UK Biobank, for example, will follow 500,000 volunteers for decades, trying to correlate genes, lifestyle and disease. And two initiatives being put together by the U.S. National Institutes of Health will look for nearly 20 diseases in up to 40,000 people. But with its long head start and Iceland's genetic advantages, deCODE could be hard to catch. So far the company has isolated 15 gene variants for 12 diseases, including stroke, schizophrenia, osteoarthritis and, most recently, diabetes. In addition to the heart...

...adding a no-confidence motion to the Feb. 28 Faculty meeting’s agenda, Judith Ryan, the Weary professor of German and comparative literature, is using a tactic from parliamentary systems and applying it to Harvard governance. But if Harvard were to follow parliamentary confidence-vote procedures to their full extent, then Ryan’s motion could cause the dissolution of the Faculty itself. In the United Kingdom and other parliamentary democracies, prime ministers who lose no-confidence votes have two options. “A government cannot operate effectively unless it can command a majority within...
