...Laboratory, where he has worked for nearly three decades, to speak to TIME's reporters and editors. Elmer-DeWitt used the opportunity to invite Watson to write the package's closing essay. "He's an icon of molecular genetics," says Elmer-DeWitt. "And unlike many scientists, he is a lucid and engaging writer...
...this is not surprising to the average Rusted Root fan. By combining lead singer Mike Glabicki's lucid vibrato and earth-moving wails with the entire band's ethereal usage of percussion instruments, Rusted Root comes across as a deft mixture of the Grateful Dead, a Native American ghost story and perhaps more than a little peyote (even if it was smoked only by the album cover artist.)

These are obviously real people, and they tell it like it is--from where they get their drugs to how they inject to how it makes them feel. Verghese shows a soft, susceptible side of human nature. Scenes in hospitals lend themselves to that. Even the most menacing...
