This observation jibes neatly with imaging studies that look at live brain activity in autistic people. Studies using functional MRI show a lack of coordination among brain regions, says Marcel Just, director of Carnegie Mellon's Center for Cognitive Brain Imaging in Pittsburgh, Pa. Just has scanned dozens of 15- to 35-year-old autistic people with IQs in the normal range, giving them thinking tasks as he monitors their brain activity. "One thing you see," says Just, "is that [activity in] different areas is not going up and down at the same time. There's a lack of synchronization...
...champagne-and-cigar end of a meal. They might be any well-heeled diners, friends, perhaps, or business colleagues. But these guests at a midnight supper in Paris' fashionable Majestic Hotel in May 1922 were the best-known artists of the age: impresario Serge Diaghilev, writers James Joyce and Marcel Proust, painter Pablo Picasso and composer Igor Stravinsky.

Recent compact disc releases on the Hyperion, Guild, Nimbus and Priory labels...

Dutch designer Marcel Wanders contributed to the simultaneously modern and classical dcor with pieces like his white neo-baroque SoapStars bathroom accessories. And Italian glassware firm Bisazza hired Marco Braga to reinvent a Venetian tradition in the entrance hall of Florence's Una Vittoria Hotel. On a computer, Braga designed a 54-hue floral mosaic made of sintered glass cubed tiles...
...goals helped Harvard edge a Quaker team that had been ranked as high as No. 18 nationally. The first score came just a few minutes into the opening half, when Tornaritis was the first player to gain possession of a ball put into the box by freshman Marcel Perl. He lofted it up and over the charging Penn goalie for a one-goal lead. Tornaritis notched his second goal of the game—and 12th of his career—late in the second half to give the Crimson the decisive lead. He finished his career with one more...
