...that's rapidly changing. Just a year ago, geneticists announced that they had sequenced a rough draft of the chimpanzee genome, allowing the first side-by-side comparisons of human and chimpanzee DNA. Already, that research has led to important discoveries about the development of the human brain over the past few million years and possibly about our ancestors' mating behavior as well...
...gene-by-gene comparison remains a powerful one, and just a year ago geneticists got hold of a long-awaited tool for making those comparisons in bulk. Although the news was largely overshadowed by the impact of Hurricane Katrina, which hit the same week, the publication of a rough draft of the chimp genome in the journal Nature immediately told scientists several important things. First, they learned that overall, the sequences of base pairs that make up both species' genomes differ by 1.23%--a ringing confirmation of the 1970s estimates--and that the most striking divergence between them occurs, intriguingly...
...stillness of the films can be eerie at times, but more often evokes a meditative sensibility. Further, Lockhart’s compositions are consistently striking and sophisticated; the static camera window draws close attention to the children’s subtle movements. Whether sleeping, reading, hiking, or rough-housing, the youths all appear to be dancing in free form. It is difficult not to be captivated by these otherwise ordinary actions.Counteracting the urge to focus on one detail—for example, a boy’s foot in “Sleeper”—the unpredictability...

Guards used force during the Dujail case in February to bring Saddam and three other defendants, disheveled and in their pyjamas, to hear testimony. Saddam then claimed he was on a hunger strike to protest his rough treatment by then chief judge Raouf Abdel-Rahman...
