Part of what makes him so enigmatic is the nature of his intellect. Wander the Microsoft grounds, press the Bill button in conversation and hear it described in computer terms: he has "incredible processing power" and "unlimited bandwidth," an agility at "parallel processing" and "multitasking." Watch him at his desk, and you see what they mean. He works on two computers, one with four frames that sequence data streaming in from the Internet, the other handling the hundreds of E-mail messages and memos that extend his mind into a network.

...will be better off if students just practice their respective religions in private. This solution treats the house common spaces as public property, analogous to a town square. Religious symbols are prohibited in municipal public spaces because of separation of church and state, and the COHL proposal urged a parallel separation between church and house...

People suffering from progeria grow old precociously too, but at a much faster rate; they are claimed by the infirmities of age in their 20s or teens. W. Ted Brown, chairman of the Institute's Department of Human Genetics, believes that progeria, like Werner's, is triggered by a single mutated gene. That genetic miswiring, however, may stimulate activity in the countless other genes that play a role in aging...
...sadly interesting motif of parallel dysfunctions ran through the Hiss family as well. Alger Hiss's father committed suicide rather savagely, slashing his throat with his own razor. Alger's sister Mary Ann also killed herself, by swallowing a bottle of caustic household cleanser...
Though defeated by Robert Matsui by a wide margin in the past two elections, Dinsmore hasn't given up his quest to make principle, not partisanship, the basis for political behavior. Those principles, he believes, dictate the need for a flat tax ("a type of wealth tax parallel to the property tax") and abolishing the deficit ("the unfair shifting to future generations the obligation to pay for programs that benefit current citizens"). A 59% Democratic registration in the Fifth makes it unlikely that this third time will be the charm for Dinsmore...
