...THINGS SEEM TO BE GOING SO POORLY IN IRAQ? It's a very good thing when a major war fight is quick. On the other hand, if you want to reconstitute, rebuild, reconstruct the country, that is never ever going to be done in a year or 18 months. I don't know whether the Administration permitted or encouraged the media in our country to believe that this was going to be easy, but it happened. There came to be created an expectation that even a superpower can't meet...
...nature of communication--even his dissertation on the rise of "the public sphere" transformed media studies into a hardheaded discipline--he regularly takes to European Op-Ed pages with lucidity and passion. A man of the left who rose from the ruins of Nazi Germany and attempted to reconstruct Marxism on a reasoned and liberal basis, he was never sentimental about communism. Nor did he fall into the trap of thinking that the cold war was a plot perpetrated malevolently and unilaterally...
...would offer some understanding of how this particular strain would be related to those previously gathered. Yi suggested they send their sequences to his lab in Hong Kong, where his technicians and assistants were standing by to use their computer modeling programs to analyze the amino-acid sequences to reconstruct the evolutionary origins of this year's virus. That way, they would be able to compare the two and determine more precisely the real risk level. If the two phylogenetic trees were similar, Yi explained (and Zhong concurred), it would confirm that the disease was again afoot and, in this...

Yi suggested they send their sequences to his lab in Hong Kong, where his technicians and assistants were standing by?they worked almost as hard as Yi?and would use their computer modeling programs to analyze the amino-acid sequences to reconstruct the evolutionary origins of this year's virus. That way, they would be able to compare the two and determine, more precisely, the real risk level.

...within a decade. After that, the Chinese want to build a space station and "establish a base on the moon," Ouyang Ziyuan, head of the lunar-expedition program, told state media. He doesn't rule out colonizing other planets, although he expects it will take "some 200 years to reconstruct Mars to make it suitable to sustain human life...
