...inquisitive nose appears first, followed by the rest of Milo bounding through the door that biological anthropologist Brian Hare has opened to his office. Canine sidekick Milo, very much at home in Hare’s office, stretches out on the floor. He’s there not just for companionship but as a professional muse as well. Hare recently published a study on dog cognition that was lauded in CNN and openly mocked by Susan Orlean (of Orchid Thief fame) in The New Yorker...
...there's a tortoise-and-hare quality to the campaign. Dean dashing, the others slogging along, ducking brickbats and trying to explain themselves. (Senator John Kerry, whom most of the candidates privately see as the front runner, was recuperating last week from prostate-cancer surgery.) There will be changes soon.

Playwright David Hare, whom Rudin hired to adapt Michael Cunningham's novel, notes the glut of year-end prestige movies: "All the intelligent films come out at exactly the same time, because they're thought to be Oscar material. And the more intelligent films are more likely to have good roles for women...
Actresses don't often get into positions of behind-the-scenes power. But when they do, says Hare, "they use it to get films made that otherwise wouldn't have a chance. At the height of her fame, Streep got Silkwood made. Nicole Kidman is doing similar things for directors she admires, like Baz Luhrmann [Moulin Rouge] and Stephen Daldry [The Hours]. Women use that period of power much more responsibly than men, because they know it will be short...
