...There should, for instance, be a system of fines and other penalties for losing coaches who accuse referees of incompetence, or worse. The most egregious example of this sort of scapegoating came last week, when Italy's Giovanni Trapattoni blamed Ecuadorean ref Byron Moreno for the Azzuri's inglorious defeat by South Korea. In addition to questioning Moreno's professional abilities, Trapattoni suggested obliquely that the official was ordered by FIFA to ensure a Korean victory so that one of the two host nations would remain in the tournament...
...matter what regulations, what standardized forms, what oversight committees the government and institutions end up putting in place, in the end, it's still up to the researcher to treat his subjects with dignity and care. In fact, argues University of Virginia bioethicist Jonathan Moreno, there's a downside to stronger protectionism: "When you take away the discretion of scientists, it's possible they'll shrug their shoulders and say, 'Protecting subjects isn't my job. Someone else will have to take care of it.' And if we don't have a morally responsible community of investigators, then nothing...
...means a lot in Brazilian music. Several of the other acts on De Castro's Trama label are second-generation stars. Berklee College of Music graduate Jairzinho Oliveira and smooth-voiced singer Luciana Mello are children of Jair Rodrigues, an acclaimed samba vocalist. Bebel Gilberto (daughter of Joao) and Moreno Veloso (son of Caetano) have released widely acclaimed CDs on other labels. Daniel Jobim, grandson of Tom, appeared on Moreno's CD. While pop-music progeny sometimes face ridicule and suspicion in the U.S., they are often embraced in Brazil. Jakob Dylan would do well to brush...
Brazilian singer-songwriter Moreno Veloso, 28, sings like a sleepy puppy dog and strums his acoustic guitar as if it were liable to crumble in his arms. On Music Typewriter (Hannibal), the first album by his group, Moreno Veloso + 2, his sweetness is offset by the steely rhythmic support provided by Domenico Lancelloti on electric drums and Alexandre Kassin on electric bass. In addition, Veloso's lyrics flow in both warm and cold, bristling with restraint one moment and full of affection and vulnerability the next. On Arrivederci, he sings, in Portuguese, "I don't like you that much/But every...
...risks to all parties involved. Dr. Santiago Gallo, a gastroenterologist who has treated dolphins in Mexico, reports cases in which dolphins have swallowed keys, a swimming cap and even a disposable diaper. Worse, critics charge that several dolphins have died prematurely at Manati because of toxic waters. Responds Javier Moreno, the owner of Manati: "If there are deaths, this is not a surprise. These are animals. There is a cycle of life. They die. They are born." He plans to expand the facility and add five dolphins to the roster next year...
