...eyes fixed at the level of supercilious Lucy's excruciatingly high heels as she minces around the factory, to hammer home the fact that she's a fish out of water. Jars of something brown go by occasionally, but it's the people who make the brown stuff who matter. And they are all Real Americans, the salt of the earth, with assorted Fargo-style accents. Mainstream moviemaking seems incapable of depicting American small-town life without populating it with walking stereotypes.

Already, physicists have been able to exchange information between light particles - or photons - or between atoms, so long as they were right next to each other. The current experiment marks the first in which information has traveled a significant distance - 1 m, or a little...
...African-American, people expect me to be excited by the inauguration of the first black president of the United States last week. Of course, symbols matter. A black man could not have ascended to the presidency 40 years ago. But the inauguration of President Barack Obama means considerably less than what the pundits say it means...
