...This is precisely the insight that shed some light on the identity of Jane Doe. Twenty strands of Jane Doe's hair were analyzed using this method discovered by Ehleringer and Cerling.

"From her hair we know that she spent the last two years of her life in the Salt Lake City area and the Intermountain West and that she moved every couple of months," says Salt Lake County...

The luxury of Cambridge—the endless formal dinners, the beautiful grounds with expensively maintained gardens, the wine cellars—is premised on that insight that Virginia Woolf expressed so well in A Room of One’s Own. Woolf claimed that “a good dinner is of great importance to good talk. One cannot think well… if one has not dined well. The lamp in the spine does not light on beef and prunes.” As anyone...
