...study of how biology influences markets, by showing that "not only does biology affect economic behavior - so does belief." But John Coates, a former Wall Street trader and researcher at Cambridge University, warns against extrapolating too much from the study. Coates' own measurements of testosterone levels in the saliva of male traders found a link between higher levels of the hormone and risky behavior. He says there is a "dose-response curve" for testosterone, which means that a small dose of the hormone might result in an opposite behavioral change from a very large dose. "It's entirely possible that...

...Naef counters that Coates' results from the saliva of male traders need not be inconsistent with his own findings. "In the highly competitive arena of trading, high profits lead to social recognition, fueling risky behavior," he explains, while in his experiment, cooperative behavior led to social recognition. What's more, it's impossible to know whether traders engaged in risky behavior because of high levels of testosterone, or whether their testosterone levels became elevated because of their risk-taking. "I think the bottom line is that the picture surrounding testosterone is very complex," Naef says, "but we certainly have...

Napier is sexy but painfully conflicted internally; the basic vulnerability she established at the very beginning lingers throughout the show. As the voiceless artist, writhing in blood, chocolate, and saliva during scene 11 (“Untitled (100 Words)”), her body contorts, suggesting an inner beast yearning to escape. As Anne, moments of anger cause her eyes to glaze over and her mouth to froth. Such strong displays of emotion capitalize on the fuzzy space between internal and external theatrical reality...

...Yale graduate student Annie Le, despite never being called a suspect. Up until the time police took him into custody, they were very careful to call Clark only a "person of interest." They obtained a warrant to search Clark's home and have taken DNA samples from his hair, saliva and fingernails. He was photographed being led in handcuffs into the back of a police car. It sure seems as if police were treating him as a suspect all along. So why were police so reluctant to call...

...suspect, in the death of 24-year-old Annie Le, whose body was found stuffed behind a wall in a campus research building Sunday, the day she was to be married. He said police were hoping to compare DNA taken from Clark’s hair, fingernails and saliva to more than 150 pieces of evidence collected from the crime scene. That evidence may also be compared at a state lab with DNA samples given voluntarily from other people with access to the crime scene. “We’re going to narrow this down...
