...three groups performed about equally well on "physical learning" - locating hidden objects, figuring out the source of a noise, understanding the concepts of more and less, using a stick to get something that's out of reach. And indeed, the kids were of an age - 2 1/2 years old - where it's widely known that they do perform about as well as chimps in such tests. So for example, the scientists would hide a treat of some kind - a toy, or some food - behind a box, while the test subjects looked on. The kids, chimps and orangs would have...

Hill Street demonstrated that a TV show could make a virtue of messiness with plots that didn't resolve neatly (or sometimes at all) and heroes who crossed ethical lines. Through conflicted Captain Furillo, abrasive Buntz and biting-prone Belker, Hill Street showed us imperfect cops delivering imperfect justice in an imperfect...

Israel would also cut off Gaza's electricity, gas and water, in what deputy premier Haim Ramon described as "a price tag" that Israel should stick on every rocket fired by the Palestinians...
