...professor of psychology at Yale University who wrote an editorial accompanying Weisbuch's study, published Thursday in Science. "But we are also kind of emotional and we do a lot of things without full conscious awareness. What this research suggests is that although our minds are in the right places, and we may truly believe we are not prejudiced, our hearts aren't quite there...
...advice-of-a-fictional-movie route. We can think of a couple of entrepreneurial professors from Columbia who escaped from debt to make millions and a very catchy theme song. Their success was conditional on the existence of ghosts, and that endowment’s looking eerily spectral right about now isn’t it, Columbia? Unfortunately, we’re betting that’s a problem that even Mel Gibson couldn’t fix?...

He added that the U.S. has other ways of destroying such weapons, including attacking them during the several days it takes to ready them for launch.

...home this year with millions of conservatives worried that President Obama and the Democratic Congress were steering a great country aground and shackling its potential. Some 8 million people listen to Beck's radio program, and this year his Fox News Channel show became required viewing for the right. Predictably, he drew white-hot hatred from liberals and even some fellow libertarians: the creators of South Park spoofed him in a hilarious November episode in which the fat Cartman played Beck. This time, Beck didn't weep. Instead, he laughed along and then noted, accurately, that the show had also...
