...complex game of social chess played by chimps and other primates, having the intellectual skills to anticipate a rival's moves and engage in deceit is a distinct advantage. Consider the double deception observed at a feeding station in Tanzania's Gombe Stream Reserve. A wild chimp had the luck to be alone next to a feeding box when it was opened by remote control. Noticing that another, more dominant chimp was approaching, the first one closed the box and moved nonchalantly away until the second chimp moved on. Once the interloper was gone, the first chimp opened...
...There is none of Mehta's grandstanding glamour; instead, the conductor he most resembles is his hero Pierre Boulez, guiding his players through the most intricate rhythms with unflappable aplomb. In 1985 Salonen signed an exclusive contract with CBS, now Sony Classical, and since then has issued a steady stream of albums (the best so far: Messiaen's formidable Turangalila-Symphonie and Grieg's Peer Gynt music). Already he is one of the few living maestros who can sell the standard repertoire on the strength of his name alone...

At last Friday's performace, a crackling blaze in the fireplace seemed at first a lovely addition to the baroque set, but gradually overwhelmed the audience with a steady stream of smoke that filled the room...
...also need to question how women's organizations contribute to the perception of these issues. Much of the specific agenda of the movement thus far has been reactive. Main-stream feminist organizations have preferred to focus on abortion and sexual harassment. This misguided focus attempts to gain access to previously male systems and privileges, as if that is the exclusive measurement of progress. These organizations often ignore the lack of institutionalization of job benefits and collective strategies for expanding gams. Too many changes are merely cosmetic...
