...world in which giant scorpion bowls and sinister fortune cookies lurk around every corner. It is a world inhabited by a militant feminist stripper, a Harvard dropout, a closet homosexual, a closet heterosexual, a voluptuous blues singe and a troupe of waiters with names out of an Abbott and Costello routine. It is the world of the Freshman Musical, a world in which ordinary rules of theater and of theater reviewing do not necessarily apply. Creating an original musical entirely from scratch is never an easy matter, and it is probably less so when the show is written by committee...

Get such a system out of the lab and into a police station, and the business of lie detection and law enforcement could change for good...
...with target genes, allowing sensors to tabulate the results automatically. Genetic researchers are already talking about using "FISH [for fluorescent in-situ hybridization] and chips," as they whimsically call these new tools, to look for any number of genetic characteristics, including the more elusive web of genes that may lurk behind familial patterns of heart disease and stroke, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's, various kinds of mental disorders and even gingivitis. Says Dr. Wayne Grody, head of the DNA diagnostic lab at the UCLA Medical Center: "We'll soon be governed by a new paradigm--genomic medicine--with tests and ultimately...
...Hyrule. Imagine being inside an animated Japanese wood-block print. The sun is going down (it really is--you can track it across the sky), causing colors to punch out and deepen. I'm fly-fishing in peerless blue water--yellow sunlight bounces off the surface--and fat lunkers lurk below.
