...used to really be on the back foot," says Varghese. Now he need only make a half-hour drive from his laboratory in Melbourne's inner north. "What once took me several years to do you could probably do in a few months" at the new facility, Varghese says. Given that the synchrotron has a life span of around 30 years, there's plenty of time, then, for a lot of light - and hopefully a great deal of illumination...
...Pakistan's lawless tribal areas along its border with Afghanistan, some places are less wild than others. The Mohmand Agency, just a half-hour drive from the city of Peshawar, had long been known as the calmest and most moderate in the region and over the past few years managed to avoid the Talibanization and violence of its neighbors. It was rare to see people in public carrying guns. Women don't wear veils when they do their daily chores outside their homes or visit neighbors. There were only a handful of seminaries.

This could have been Katzenberg's idea; as head of Disney animation in its palmy "Renaissance" years (1988-94), he had hosted ever more elaborate industry previews of his films, culminating in a Las Vegas stunt for The Lion King with a live lion onstage. The beast was so fond of Jeffrey, it nearly behaved toward him as another Vegas lion later did to Siegfried's Roy; but Jeffrey escaped basically unmauled. Now, under his auspices, a zillionaire comic would perform a kind...
