...Today there is the whole notion of the home-run movie -- the one movie whereby you never have to work again. The home-run movie completely alters the nature of risk. The old moguls could take a roll on a picture and know that if it didn't work, it wasn't going to bring the studio down. There was a regular cinema audience. Today, as I learned to my cost at Columbia, almost every time you come up to bat, you're making a $20 million, $30 million or $50 million bet. That's not an environment that encourages...
Cinco de Mayo symbolizes the emergence of the Mexicans as a people, said Candelario Saenz, a visting scholar in social anthropology from the University of Texas at Austin. The Quincy House affiliate said that "the notion that Mexico belongs to the Mexicans... was forged" on Mexican independence day, Diez y Seis de Septiembre, and Cinco de Mayo, which commemorates the 1862 Battle of Puebla...

Those are big ifs, as evidenced by the preliminary results emerging from dozens of labs in the U.S. and abroad. The data provided new support for the notion that cold fusion is real, but none of the experiments were complete or totally convincing. Researchers at Texas A&M University said they too had produced excess energy in the form of heat, though less than in the original experiment. Scientists at Georgia Tech, using a similar device, said they had detected excess neutrons, subatomic particles that are a normal by-product of fusion -- although they later announced that their experiment...
Some scientists scoff at the notion that dolphins provide an effective defense against intruders. Says Stephen Leatherwood, a Point Mugu alumnus who subsequently spent ten years with NOSC: "Wouldn't you like to have more reliable protection for your loved one than an animal who one day might decide that it would rather be a dolphin than a soldier?" Leatherwood believes these projects demonstrate capabilities and thus keep research funds flowing, rather than serve any real operational purpose...
