...they didn't have a clue what a gene actually is. And with far more self-assurance than a newly minted 22-year-old Ph.D. had any right to possess, Watson decided he would figure it out. His first stop was Copenhagen for a postdoctoral fellowship with the biochemist Herman Kalckar, who was studying DNA's chemical properties. The fellowship ended in a hurry. "Herman," writes Watson in The Double Helix, "did not stimulate me in the slightest." Even worse, he decided Kalckar's research would not immediately lead to an understanding of the gene...
...since the Flying Fucks trapeze duo in Peter Locke?s very funny 1973 porn film ?It Happened in Hollywood.? Lee is on the receiving end of the most harrowing rape scene in movie history (and, yes, Francophiles, I?m including the one in Gaspar No?s ?Irreversible?).

Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende informed the Queen that the government he put together 87 days ago had reached a dead end. The reason: a bitter leadership feud between Economics Minister Herman Heinsbroek and Health Minister Eduard Bomhoff, both members of List Pim Fortuyn (LPF). When Balkenende, a Christian Democrat, failed to reconcile them, it was obvious that this cabinet was not going to survive. "The LPF is brilliant at carrying wood to its own funeral pyre," says the hapless Mat Herben...
