...after New York, New York (inspired by the 1945 The Man I Love), Cape Fear and The Age of Innocence (both from novels that had been filmed before). In 2004 the director said he hadn't seen Infernal Affairs and wasn't planning to, but that almost doesn't matter. The Hong Kong movie's headlong confidence in using all resources of cinema (smart-jerky rhythms, a breathless narrative propulsion, the italicizing of a moment by a few frames of close-up slo-mo) to relate a tale of male bonding and betrayal - all this is so close...

When it comes to cloning animals, like Dolly and Snuppy, the process produces a healthy animal only a dismal 1% to 5% of the time. This hit-or-miss dilemma wouldn't matter much if producing identical animals were its only application, but cloning is also the foundation for one of the more promising ways that stem cells might be used to treat human disease with a patient's own cells.

How sad. If there’s a detailed and demonstrable case to be made for Harvard women having a space of their own, then the center’s administrators should be unafraid to make this case and refocus the facility’s mission toward...
...over how the deteriorating situation in Iraq is affecting their poll numbers in the U.S. He admits some Iraqi politicians are nervous that the midterm election results could short-circuit the U.S. commitment to Iraq, but he doesn't see a fundamental change in the approach to Iraq, no matter who controls Congress in January. He could envision minor adjustments being made, "but strategically," says Khalilzad, in an unwrinkled blue shirt, "I don't see an alternative that works for our national interest but to do everything we can to make Iraq succeed...
