...inheritance doesn't last forever, it can be hugely powerful. In February 2009, the Journal of Neuroscience published a paper showing that even memory - a wildly complex biological and psychological process - can be improved from one generation to the next via epigenetics. The paper described an experiment with mice led by Larry Feig, a Tufts University biochemist. Feig's team exposed mice with genetic memory problems to an environment rich with toys, exercise and extra attention. These mice showed significant improvement in long-term potentiation (LTP), a form of neural transmission that is key to memory formation. Surprisingly, their offspring...
...says, have a lack of understanding of minorities in their city, especially South Asians and Africans, and cling to shallow and negative stereotypes. (This even though many South Asians speak fluent Cantonese and have ties to the city that predate the Chinese majority.) It's an apathy that has led to hiring practices in the city that discriminate against minorities as well as a public school system that has neglected a generation of poor non-Chinese. Even many of Wong's social-worker colleagues are bewildered by her interest in defending the rights of South Asians over improving...

...attorneys who brought the case, led by former U.S. Solicitor General Theodore Olson and famed litigator David Boies, are confident their timing is right. "We consulted and researched in depth," Olson wrote in an e-mail to TIME. "We concluded that we had/have a reasonable chance of success. Our clients were made fully aware of the risks and chose to go forward. For them, the status quo is already failure. We had every reason to believe that someone was going to bring this case in any event - without the resources or experience that we can assemble. The State Attorney General...
That year, the Russian army revoked shops' liquor licenses and confiscated over 140 million gal. (530 million L) of vodka. (Unsure what to do with the oversupply, the government gave the vodka to scientists, who used it in experiments - one of which led to a new kind of synthetic rubber.) Prohibition remained in effect during the 1917 revolution and subsequent civil war. But when the teetotaling Bolsheviks ran low on funds, they rethought their stance; by 1925 vodka was back on the shelves of state-run dispensaries. In World War II, every Russian soldier at the front was given...
