Michael Crichton has made an excellent literary career scaring us about what will happen when our brains outpace our souls. In best sellers from the Andromeda Strain to Jurassic Park to his latest book out today, Next ("Welcome to our genetic world," says the teaser. "Fast, furious and out of control"), Crichton has for years been stoking the private ethics conversation that we are so clumsy at conducting in public...
...deciding your Congressional votes? In the majority of those polls, significant proportions of voters cited Iraq as their single most pressing concern. When the Democrats gained control of both the House and Senate for the first time since 1994, the electorate sent an unambiguous message that they were furious with the Bush administration’s failed foreign policy and handling of Iraq...

Cruz balances screwball humor and a little vulgarity (there are fart jokes) with a screen-goddess glamour that can't be faked. "Pedro says I have a dark side," Cruz says, "and I know he does. Maybe that's another thing that connects us. I never feel completely safe next...
