...1980s, says Mootha, the mitochondrial genome--with only about 16,000 genetic "letters," compared with 3 billion in the nuclear genome--had been sequenced. That let researchers link specific, rare disorders to specific mitochondrial mutations, always passed from mother to child. But by the time the Human Genome Project was completed in 2000, it was clear that mutations in the nucleus could cause problems in the mitochondria as well.

...never tell. A word on Kingdom of Heaven: if you get the four-disc set, which is 3 hr. 8 min., you'll see why it's such a good movie.

...environmentally conscious. To reduce pollution in the short term, he wants to expand investment in public transportation and give tax breaks for fuel-efficient cars and home appliances. He is also committed to clean energy. In fact, he was one of the earliest supporters of the Cape Wind Project, which will build a wind farm off the coast of Nantucket, when it was unpopular and politically risky. Patrick’s commitment to his values—in this case protecting the environment through renewable and clean energy—always comes before politics...

Without any frame of reference for his trip, it runs perilously close to yet another “look, those racist middle Americans are crazy!” Given the imminent success of this film, coastal and European elites might just project the critique of American culture onto an imagined other, failing to realize that they are implicated in the whole endeavor...
