...Howard Zinn, in his book "Terrorism and War" (Seven Stories Press; 159 pages; $9.95) makes many of the same points as Chomsky (and in the same interview format), but in a tone more of sorrow than of anger: he comes off as Chomsky Lite. "We have to think about this awful thing that happened on September 11," Zinn states. "We need to feel deeply for the victims and the families. But we also need to learn from it." Part of the learning process is to try to make an effort to understand why those people contemptuously (and simple-mindedly) dismissed...
...such difficult times. I am glad that we would not let the events of Sept. 11 pervert the meaning of one of the world’s great religions without letting someone, one of our own, speak in its defense. I am glad that in a time of great sorrow, ours remains one of the great institutions of the world, standing in defense of the freedom of speech and debate that is fundamental to an academic community.

"When you see these media stories hyping women in their late 40s having babies, it's with donor eggs," insists Stanford's Adamson, "but that is conveniently left out of the stories." The more aggressive infertility clinics have a financial incentive to hype the good news and bury the facts: a 45-year-old woman who has gone through seven cycles of IVF can easily spend $100,000 on treatment. But even at the best fertility clinics in the country, her chance...
