...grosses don't explain why United 93, Paul Greengrass' meticulous, creepy and critically acclaimed 9/11 docudrama, failed to nab a slot. It pulled in a respectful $31.5 million here, $44.1 million abroad. I'd say that United 93 was snubbed for two reasons: because a lot of people were reluctant, perhaps afraid, to relive 9/11, and because, for the Academy, all Oscar politics is local. Crash proved that last year. It was the ultimate L.A. movie - a drama about car violence on the interracial highway - while United 93 is the ultimate New York movie. Its shot of a passenger...

Nor can they be forced to submit to an MRI or have electrodes fixed to their skulls without consent or a court order, says Hank Greely, a Stanford law professor.

That's the idea behind the Allen Brain Atlas (ABA). Launched in September with $100 million from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, the atlas is the first Web-based, public-access database of all 20,000 or so genes expressed in the mouse brain. Want to know where in the brain a specific gene is active? The ABA has it, in vivid three-dimensional color. Curious about what types of brain cells are actively expressing a particular gene? The atlas provides molecular-level data that tell you. "Even though it's a mouse project, it really is a wonderful resource...
...ever next to our hearts. Perhaps a day at Harvard shorn of cell phone, iPod, and email would be inconvenient, but it would also bring us freedom from constant contact—before we too do not “know a star in the sky.” Paul G. Nauert ’09, a Crimson editorial editor, is a social studies concentrator in Dunster House...
