...diamond, which substantially improves heat conduction and thus has many important applications for lasers, optics, electronics and communication, has pitted the scholar, Russell Seitz, and Harvard professors against the corporate giant...
...wants to make the not-obviously-commercial films that interest him. For most of the past decade, he tried and failed to develop a script about the Paris haute couture scene, and now "I'll probably get it done next year -- I imagine directly as a result of the heat on The Player." He is negotiating a development deal for a movie about Mata Hari, and he also wants to film the life of Jean Seberg. L.A. Shortcuts, a script he co-wrote from a set of Raymond Carver short stories, seems to be the project about which...
...STREET FIGHT IN NEW YORK PRODUCED NEITHER the knockout for Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton that pundits had once predicted nor the upset for former California Governor Jerry Brown that seemed possible in the heat of the ugly brawl there. As both candidates limped back to their corners, only Massachusetts Senator Paul Tsongas had reason to grin: he came in second by staying away...
...regarded by the broader electorate he must appeal to in order to defeat George Bush? A TIME/CNN poll of 937 registered voters questioned by Yankelovich Clancy Shulman last Thursday -- two days after Clinton's primary victories -- gives some startling answers. A month earlier, Clinton finished in a dead heat with Bush, 43% to 43%; now he loses by 11 points, 44% to 33% (a jump in the undecided column made most of the difference).

Cows are contributing to global warming. To a measurable extent, they are. The symbiotic bacteria that dwell in every cow's gut enable grazers to break down the cellulose in grass. As a by-product, these bacteria produce considerable amounts of methane, which, like carbon dioxide, is a heat-trapping greenhouse gas. The methane periodically gusts forth from grazing herds in the form of rumbling postprandial belches. But if cattle contribute to the global methane load, they are hardly alone. Swamps, termite mounds and rice paddies are all hosts to similar sorts of bacterial methane factories...
