...easy to understand the forgiving impulse of the Governor's contemporaries, who themselves don't want to be permanently disqualified. And it's not hard to comprehend a national disinclination, post-Monica, to paw over the dark moments of yet another politician's life. The problem is that using cocaine, unlike having a bit of sport with the ladies, is illegal, and the country has decided to dole out harsh prison sentences to many people caught with the drug...
...dream toy. He has a chip in each detachable limb. He has a camera in his nose. He chases after balls, as long as they're hot pink. He walks on all fours--a major cybernetic achievement, I'm told. He wags his tail freely and waves a paw cheerily. He can spin his limbs around, get to his feet when he's lying on his back--another giant leap for robotkind--and take a virtual leak. But AIBO can be willful too. His eyes go red if you pat him too hard. If he can't quite reach...
...Tarzan yell might seem the most superficial accessory, but the filmmakers see it as a key to the drama. They never let us forget that the lad is isolated, unaware of his origin and his destiny--and aware that he is unaware. He places his palm against Kala's paw (hands are a major motif in the film) and knows that his mother is different; or, rather, she is the norm, and he the outsider. Africa is his metaphor: the lost continent is his identity. Always he asks, Who or what am I? Where do I belong...
...approaches, I look forward to moving on from an institution which is often unwilling to treat people as full and complete individuals, with emotions beyond the elation or disappointment produced by a grade on a final exam. At the same time, I know I'll miss the ability to paw through Widener or listen to Cornel West lecture. I'm also going to miss having a peer group that can deconstruct the latest Star Wars movie in terms of current literary theory. I'll fondly remember discussing Cambridge politics with members of the Faculty. So how does Harvard come...
...BEST FRIEND Looking for the perfect pet, one that never slobbers, growls or barks in the night? Meet Sony's AIBO (Artificial Intelligence Robot), a foot-tall plastic pup, powered by computer chip, that can walk, sit, lie down, even raise a paw in the air. Stroke a sensor on its head, and AIBO wags its tail; throw a ball, and a digital camera in its snout will track it. A remote control turns it left or right. Available at www.world.sony.com/robot/for $2,500, AIBO costs more than most purebreds. But it doesn't shed, can't dig holes...
