...after a long summer spent staring at CNBC and Excel’s Visual Basic editor. And journalism? Outside of The Crimson, I’m pretty sure it’s not for me. The New York Times doesn’t have a barbecue on its roof, after...
...Richard Nixon started wars on cancer and, most memorably, on drugs. "The irony is that all of these wars on abstractions have pretty much been failures," says Steven Pinker, a cognitive scientist at Harvard. "It's a bit of a conceptual mismatch.

Among the most valuable are the intricately carved poles that support the roof of a village's haus tambaran. These poles, made from a special hardwood, represent the most powerful spirit in a village and can fetch as much as $100,000 at international auctions, says Eoe. Haraha says he is seeking to question Stuttgen about some spirit-house poles that were...
