...site was “a place of mourning, a place of sadness, where so many people were murdered and died.” He is exactly right. He has also said that he wanted his design for the WTC site to be “something that is outward, forward-looking, optimistic, exciting.” He is exactly wrong...
This sense of safety frees my neighbors to look outward, over the mountains and even across the oceans, where the dangers are more pressing, the odds less favorable. Like people concerned about an ailing family member in a distant city, they seem a little wistful, and maybe a little helpless too. The days pass slowly way out West, so folks have a lot of time to watch the news--and little power to affect...
Hence Iraq. This is about more than the terrible weapons. It is about reconstituting a terrorized society. A de-Saddamized Iraq with a decent government could revolutionize the region. It would provide friendly basing not just for the outward projection of American power but also for the outward projection of democratic and modernizing ideas, which is why the Administration plans an 18-month occupation for a civil and political reconstruction unlike any since postwar Germany and Japan. If we succeed, the effect on the region would be enormous, encouraging democrats and modernizers--and threatening despots and troglodytes--in neighboring Iran...
...were the two backbones on the inside of DNA or on the outside? Inside was a lot more straightforward; with the attached bases pointing outward, whatever code they might carry would be easily accessible. There seemed no chemically viable way to parse it, however, although Watson spent several days trying. Finally, he writes, "as I took apart a particularly repulsive backbone-centered molecule, I decided that no harm could come from spending a few days building backbone-out models." This would raise the tricky question of how to pack strings of bases against one another. But Watson put aside that...
...tale. It doesn't help that Dai seems to forget that the boys are living in the middle of the Cultural Revolution; with its postcard-perfect vistas and the endless free time the trio enjoys, life in Phoenix on the Sky seems less re-education camp than Mao's Outward Bound. But Seamstress, which earned a Golden Globe nomination for best foreign-language film, achieves moments of quiet beauty as well. Ma sheds confused tears at the mention of Balzac's Chinese translator, punished as a reactionary like Ma's father; Luo reads Ursule Mirouet out loud...
