...that long-ago November to help trace where debris from the Kormoran, found drifting days after the battle, could have come from. With no ocean wind reports available from that time, van Burgel dug through archives and extrapolated from land weather charts, then used computers and satellite imagery to model 1941 conditions. When the three approaches yielded similar results, he says, "we thought we were on to a good thing." Drift specialists could then identify where the German ship was likely to be.

...that have made the current Dalai Lama such a startling and tonic figure on the world stage. There are few monks in any tradition who speak so rarely about faith while rejecting anything that has been disproved by scientific inquiry; on his desk at home, he keeps a plastic model of the brain with detachable parts so that he can take it apart, put it together again and see how it works. And there are even fewer political leaders who work from the selfless positions and long-term vision of a monk (and doctor of philosophy). It's easy...
