...above the usual ideological divisions." Lenoir, 54, knows a thing or two about European policy and diplomacy. A lawyer who specializes in bio- and hi-tech matters, she was already one of France's leading legal ethicists when in 1994 she became president of the European Commission's advisory panel on science and technology policy. Her brief ranged from data secrecy to cloning and involved deliberations with researchers, politicians and business people across the E.U. Before that, Lenoir presided over UNESCO's International Bioethics Committee. Her expertise, insistence on the urgency of farreaching international biotech accords and collegial manner...
...what makes them special. Freed from literal representation, the artist's only obligation is to meaning and David B. takes full advantage of this. People grow and shrink, or occasionally appear as animals. Backgrounds become patterns that reflect the mood of the scene rather than the location. One remarkable panel shows Jean-Christofe's head surrounded by a knot of tubes and two tiny doctors plugging them into his skull. Demons, monsters and ghosts become an integral part of the narrative. Jean-Christofe often has a snake-like creature running around and through his body which twists...
...deliberative "All-Parish Council." Cardinal Law, notoriously mum on his role in the abuse scandals, spoke up almost instantly against the idea, letting it be known that Boston's pastors were not to "join, foster or promote" the group, on the ground that it would compete with an existing panel.

"Lay organizations can't force the leadership to acknowledge them or give them power," she says. "But if the church ignores them, I think they'll see some pretty widespread exits...
...five visionaries on our panel are--in addition to Kurzweil--Paul Horn, IBM senior vice president for research; Sandeep Malhotra, vice president for nanotechnology at Ardesta, an Ann Arbor, Mich., venture-capital firm and industry incubator; Chris Meyer, director of Cap Gemini Ernst & Young's Center for Business Innovation in Cambridge, Mass.; and Melanie Mitchell, a research professor at the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico. They offer a glimpse of technologies--most of them already in use--that will reshape the way businesses are run and profits are made in the years ahead...
...show?a collection of artifacts and images of 234 years of Eastern trade?has raised hackles among British Chinese activists. A small but well-aimed campaign even convinced the library to tweak the exhibit's panel text to better reflect the dark side of the Company's activities in China. "The Opium Wars marked a turning point in history," says campaign organizer Steve Lau, who runs the Web site www.britishbornchinese.co.uk. "Chinese refer to the next century as the 'hundred years of shame.'" The library seems blindsided by the controversy: it hadn't actually ignored the East India Company's opium...
