...there's something unnerving about Viagra too, not so much on the face of it (the drug's merits appear to be manifold; doctors think it might even improve the sexual response of postmenopausal women) but in the broader philosophical implications. Is sexuality, like the state of happiness or male-pattern baldness, just one more hitherto mysterious and profound area of human-beingness that can be pharmaceutically manipulated, like any other fathomable construct of enzymes and receptors? Another looming question: Since Viagra is taken--at prices ranging from...
...believe that the new move to "pragmatism" is rooted in economic, rather than cultural, forces, and that it represents not an innocent shift in student priorities but a dangerous abandonment of progressive concerns. The growth in professionalism and the perceived decline in student activism have manifold causes. Educational costs have skyrocketed, leaving students with record debt burdens and tightening the pressure on middle-and working-class families...

A similar task awaits whoever gets to adjudicate a recently filed lawsuit alleging that Spielberg and his colleagues are, to put it baldly, plagiarists--that they swiped their vision of the Amistad tale from Echo of Lions, a little-known historical novel by Barbara Chase-Riboud...
Yerma is an admirable and intriguing example of Garcia Lorca's attempts to revitalize the tradition of Spanish drama. Its themes are simultaneously fundamental and extremely complex and manifold--the ancient theme of the cyclicality of nature and of female fertility is beaten into the viewer like a hammer. But at the same time the play presents us with a vision of one in whom that cycle is broken--"blocked up," as many of the play's characters repeat of Yerma--and asked to try to understand, with Yerma, the meaning of this arresting of the natural cycle in terms...
...engine is equipped with a second catalytic converter, installed near the manifold, and has impressed engineers in early tests. And though no one was saying how long until the engine starts showing up under Accord hoods near you, executives at the company say it's definitely "feasible." That's bad news for electric cars in general and General Motors in particular, but in the near (and attainable-sounding) future, it looks like cleaner air ahead...
