...James Bond films and their glitzy clones. (The latest Bond, Casino Royale, took some cues from the Bournes: made the hero more brutal, gave the visual a hint of grit.)

Bourne, who needs no sleep or food or pee breaks, no downtime at all, he's closer to the Terminator, a national-security murder machine. Or, to give Bourne a literary benefit of the doubt, one of those questing creatures from...
When Nazira Sacasa sent me a press release for a new clothing boutique late last month, she didn't know that I would launch a full-scale web search to learn everything I could about her. But I needed a victim to test out the new breed of people-search services on the web, and a paid publicity seeker seemed like fair game.

Besides trying to prove which skull is genuine, the Friedrich Schiller Code team will run a series of tests to corroborate the genetic analysis, search for traces of opiates or harmful heavy metals, and perhaps confirm contemporary reports that Schiller died of tuberculosis - thereby disappointing conspiracy theorists who claim he may have been poisoned by Freemasons. The poet himself probably wouldn't have cared what fate befell his remains. "The Weavers of the Web - the Fates - but sway/ The matter and the things of clay," he wrote in his philosophical lyric The Ideal and Life. "Safe from each change that...
