...most celebrated artists, respected for a life spent pursuing her own singular vision. The first-ever overview of her 40-year career at Tate Britain (which runs until Sept. 28) shows how she rose above the Op Art fad. Monochrome mutates into color, and simple dots and triangles morph into ripples and barley-sugar twists, always following an internal logic.

What's driving this effort to morph fields into drug factories? In a word: cost. In the past decade, the DNA revolution has spawned a generation of drugs made from human antibodies, the proteins that white blood cells use to defend the body against disease. Today such "biologics" are cultivated in huge fermentation vats, often by painstakingly planting cloned human cells in such unlikely breeding sites as the ovary cells of Chinese hamsters. Building one of these sophisticated biofactories can take as long as seven years and cost up to $600 million...
This time the sacred monsters must battle not only their fellow-mutant nemesis Magneto (Ian McKellen) and the morph-o-matic Mystique (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) but also a figure familiar from a quillion adventure movies--the steely sicko military renegade.

The current situation in Venezuela proves that democratic leaders can quickly morph into tyrants, and abuse their own people. Battles can also erupt between people of various ethnic groups within a nation—a situation that the world witnessed most recently in the Balkans. Fundamentalist Islamic groups also may pose a grave challenge to the stability of a newly forged democracy, just as they now constantly challenge the legitimacy of Pakistan’s regime...
