...happy ending. At the climax of the 1930 Prix de beaut?, she is a movie star sitting in a screening room about to watch the rushes of her big song. (It's the sad, teasing "Je n'ai qu'un Amour c'est Toi," and, in another 100th birthday present, is covered on the new CD by World Musette, a Paris band fronted by the cartoonist Robert Crumb.) Her jealous lover creeps into the projection booth and, from there, shoots her dead. Brooks' face goes lifeless as her screen image lives. And the song ends: "Don't think...

Moreover, the BCG vaccine must be stored at cool temperatures, complicating its distribution to remote areas...

By creating a culture of fear in academic circles, the deep probing powers given to investigators by the act allowed them to present us with the most crippling hindrance to academic freedom imaginable. And as Canadians head to the hills with their private information, it might be time for those of us who do research in this country to start feeling more than a little uneasy...
