...Brattle Square theaters. “That was a very important part of growing up,” he said. Zwick spent most of his free time at Harvard directing shows for the Harvard-Radcliff Dramatic Club (HRDC). Working with diverse material ranging from “Of Mice and Men” to “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” helped him to cultivate an appreciation for all kinds of drama. “I think it shaped [my career] in terms of encouraging a certain promiscuity of taste...
...what is this tiny tome that provokes such big reactions? It is a parable that can be read in 45 minutes by a multi-tasking minion. There are two "Littlepeople" and two mice. All of them live in a maze. For a time, they have an abundance of cheese to eat (i.e., whatever they want in life). One day, though, the cheese disappears.

They may not have had seasonal harvests, but the people of this time lived in a complex and perhaps even flourishing society. "What we see [with the Natufian burial rites...
...scientist who clones dinosaurs from their fossilized DNA, with disastrous results. It may be the most effective showcase for Crichton's gifts as a novelist, but even setting that aside, its predictive power remains astonishing to this day. Just this week, Japanese scientists announced that they had successfully cloned mice from tissue that was frozen for 16 years. Can the resurrection of the woolly mammoth be far off? Crichton probably wouldn't have approved, but it's a shame nonetheless that he didn't live...
