...most recent studies is still too small to give a full picture of genetic variation. Others harbor doubts that the rate of mutation of mitochondrial DNA is constant enough to support conclusions about chronological dating. "Physical anthropology remains the gold standard for dating," says geneticist Mark Stoneking of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, a member of the team at the University of California, Berkeley that in 1987 identified "Mitochondrial Eve" as the 140,000- to 280,000-year-old ancestor of all living humans. "But we're getting better at genetic dating all the time...
PLETTENBERG BAY, South Africa - New democracies tend to be a little oversensitive. Take South Africa. A conservative journalist here named Max du Preez recently referred to Thabo Mbeki, South Africa's president, as a "womanizer." I'm not going to reckon with the truth or falsehood of the accusation, but by the ANC's reaction, you'd think Mbeki had been called a murderer, a cheat, a fraud, a deviant and a liar - all epithets that Bill Clinton, and probably every American president, routinely gets called...
...Brooks directed) about a schlocky Broadway producer who connives with his nervous accountant to raise money for an awful Nazi musical so they can abscond with the funds when the thing flops.

Support them with a gaggle of Broadway backers so eager that one producer had to hold a lottery to decide which of his investors got the privilege of putting money...
...Call Max Roach Mr. Cutting Edge. In the 1940s and 50s, Roach catalyzed the drum set’s redefinition with his sophisticated rhythmic approach. His Freedom Now Suite of 1960—a work banned by the Republic of South Africa—reflected his political concerns. In the 1970s Roach founded the M’BOOM Percussion Ensemble. Over the years, he has worked with actor Bill Cosby, poet Maya Angelou and playwright Sam Shepard, among others...
...Max Roach: Well, it’s not anything that hasn’t been happening. When I was very young academia was interested in this music. A lot of professors are interested in the music from a historical point of view, they’ve written extensively about it. A lot has to be done. I’m interested in the language that they use to describe it. For example, I don’t think jazz is a good word to describe what this music is really about...
