...example, Tim Burton. At 51, Burton still has the otherworldly air of a bright kid distracted from conversation with adults by the crazy-beautiful pictures playing in his mind. Since Pee-wee's Big Adventure, his 1985 debut feature, Burton's signature films have dwelled in the realm of arrested infancy. When he hasn't adapted children's classics (Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), he's confected his own scary, sweet bedtime fables (Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride). The typical hero of these films is a naïf who stumbles into a world that threatens...
...around the world using cell phones - and more signing up every day - a strong link between mobiles and cancer could have major public-health implications. As cell phones make and take calls, they emit low-level radio-frequency (RF) radiation. Stronger than FM radio signals, these RF waves are still a billionth the intensity of known carcinogenic radiation like X-rays. (See pictures from an X-ray studio...

Using your cell phone's speaker or connecting a wired headset - while keeping the handset away from your body - drastically reduces RF exposure. (Bluetooth headsets help too, but they still emit some radiation.) And given the potentially more serious risks for children, who have thinner skulls than adults, parents might want to wait before handing teens their first phone - or at least ensure they use it mostly for texting...

So that's how I use it." Givens is still figuring out his own purpose, and in the compelling character study of Justified, Leonard, Yost and Olyphant have fashioned quite a weapon. I can't wait to see how they...
...Soul of the New Machine Back when Obama was still just a Chicago pol, few would have mistaken him for the leader who would help give birth to a new clean-energy economy. In the late 1990s, the future President described himself as a "strong supporter" of downstate coal interests, voting in the Illinois legislature for billions of dollars in loan guarantees for new dirty power plants, and for a bill that condemned the Kyoto Protocol...
