...very strange that comedians such as Jay Leno, Dave Letterman and Conan O'Brien are "forced" to air reruns during the TV- and movie-writers strike [Nov. 19]. Didn't they get their start in show biz by writing their own material? I guess they're just too rich now--or too blasé--to go back to their roots. Seems a shame, doesn...
...suspect, however, that the pool of contenders for the title is relatively small. I’m sure Taft or Lincoln would have enjoyed that kind of street cred and mad props, but when it came to the scientific induction of pluripotent stem cells from adult human fibroblasts, I guess they just couldn’t tear themselves away from getting stuck in bathtubs and freeing slaves (respectively) to log enough hours in the lab or scrape together the bread for clonogenic assays. You snooze, you lose...
This changeover won't be free, but it won't break the bank, especially if we start early, proceed globally and undertake research and development on low-emission energy systems to improve our options. The best guess is that the annual cost of the changeover will remain below 1% of the world's annual income, a very modest price to avoid a potential earthshaking danger. The rich countries will have to help the poor countries in three ways: to get access to the needed low-emission technologies; to bear part of the increased costs of energy in the poor countries...

She just doesn't want to be the only one. "After the new law, when everyone else is wearing helmets, then I guess I will too," she says. On Vietnam's mean streets, saving lives may depend as much on the fashion police as the new rules of the road...
...does Team Giuliani now shift its own pre-Florida efforts from Iowa to New Hampshire? Why bet any money or time on Iowa now that someone else is doing your work for you - and you could wind up in fourth place even if you play your cards well? My guess is that this calculation is already being embraced by some at Giuliani headquarters. Last week, with their man's polls sagging, Giuliani's team finally spent some of its cash on ads in New Hampshire. And Giuliani spent two days there over the weekend, touring the Granite State...
