...inspired by a hookah pipe and crafted out of meter-long handblown glass vessels by New Zealander Francis Upritchard vies for attention with small studies in carbon and casein donated by sculptor Antony Gormley after he stayed at the hotel. And there's a big decorative abstract by Terry Frost in the cosy bar. Some photography is on show, too: moving black-and-white images of boy soldiers in the Congo by South African Guy Tillim...
...Coogan's signature character, displayed in a decade's worth of Brit comedy series, is Alan Partridge, an unctuously brutal TV host modeled on David Frost. (Eric Idle did Frost first, and better, back on Monty Python's Flying Circus.) If you've never seen Partridge, you know his type from countless American movies and TV shows: a star with a self-confidence as unbreakable as it is unjustified, and who's impervious to the world's opinion...
...Hansen and Sigfus Johann Johnsen drill holes 70 meters down. The ice beneath NEEM is more than a mile and a half (2.5 km) thick, the result of over 130,000 years of accumulated snow. Tiny air bubbles from the year the snow fell are trapped in layers of frost, and when the ice is brought back to the surface, scientists can analyze the ancient atmosphere and discover the temperature and carbon dioxide concentration of Greenland's air, say, 115,000 years ago. That's the end of the Eemian geologic period, the warm era before the earth's last...

"Every country is looking to the U.S. to see what the program is doing and what technologies will be used." Chopra expects the global biometrics industry to grow at a compounded annual rate...
...weddings, the title was one that few American poets rushed to adopt. "It's in the field of politics," scoffed Allen Ginsberg. With artists serving renewable eight-month terms, the U.S. "may be down to third-rate poets pretty quickly," quipped A.R. Ammons. "I don't think Robert Frost would have liked it," said the Atlantic's poetry editor of the man whose reading at John F. Kennedy's 1961 Inauguration symbolized--incorrectly--the position for many Americans. (Frost held an earlier title, Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress...
