...what they seem. The anticipation of trickery keeps a movie crowd on its toes. And because the story is so strong, Scorsese can elaborate on it without looking self-indulgent. One visual strategy: he plants X's everywhere, on the walls and in diagonal grouping of characters, to suggest the crisscrossing of Billy and Colin, and of the four lines of conflict (Billy and Colin and their respective father figures) that keep converging and colliding. Sometimes, in an obvious visual correlative, the X's are in pairs: a double cross...
...better - but we knew that it still had great challenges ahead. So we set out to produce an issue with the theme Europe's New Frontiers. Jim Ledbetter, a senior editor of Time Atlantic who masterminded the project, says, "From the beginning, when we asked writers to suggest stories, it became clear that we were asking people to think of frontiers in an entirely different way. The suggestions were so strong and varied that I knew we'd hit on a powerful idea." Business writer Peter Gumbel, for example, had a look at what the line between East and West...
...some, Google's numerous business deals overshadow the additions on its search side and suggest a slide away from consumers as it seeks new areas of growth. "Google has been an inspiring and innovative company, but the recent alliances seem less creative," says Irma Zandl, principal of the Zandl Group, a marketing and trend-forecasting agency in New York City. "They seem to be going in a less consumer-centric direction, focusing instead on monetizing to the max, which may be a good thing from a Wall Street perspective but perhaps not so good from the consumers' standpoint."

...mutant gene prevents the expression of a myosin variant, known as MYH16, in the jaw muscles used in biting and chewing. Since the same mutation occurs in all of the modern human populations the researchers tested--but not in seven species of nonhuman primates, including chimps--the researchers suggest that lack of MYH16 made it possible for our ancestors to evolve smaller jaw muscles some 2 million years ago. That loss in muscle strength, they say, allowed the braincase and brain to grow larger. It's a controversial claim, one disputed by anthropologist C. Owen Lovejoy of Kent State University...
...President and his War Cabinet in heroic still lifes. Woodward, the world's most famous investigative reporter and an assistant managing editor at the Washington Post, took a lot of heat for going soft on the President in Bush At War, but the author's critics were wrong to suggest he was politically motivated. That book, remember, chronicled the President and his inner circle during the first three months after 9/11. All things considered, and certainly by comparison to what followed, those were pretty good days for this Administration...
