...people not to get needlessly confused or distracted by religion ("Even without a religion, we can become a good human being"). No believer in absolute truth-he eagerly seeks out Catholics, neuroscientists, even regular travelers to Tibet who can instruct him-he is also the rare Tibetan who will suggest that old Tibet may have contributed in part to its current predicament, the rare Buddhist to tell foreigners not to take up Buddhism but to study within their own traditions, where their roots are deepest...
...This determination to be completely empirical-as if he were a doctor of the mind pledged to examine things only as they are, to come up with a clear diagnosis and then to suggest a practical response-is one of the things that have made the current Dalai Lama such a startling and tonic figure on the world stage. There are few monks in any tradition who speak so rarely about faith while rejecting anything that has been disproved by scientific inquiry; on his desk at home, he keeps a plastic model of the brain with detachable parts so that...
...ponderous pace of efforts to improve the site may, however, be in keeping with its history. Stonehenge was probably built in three key stages, roughly between 3050 B.C. and 1500 B.C.

Why is this? There are few holdout “man’s jobs?...
...Harvard colleagues said the article perplexed and disappointed them. In an article billed as an apology, Ignatieff seemed to spend a lot of time attributing responsibility to those other than himself. “What I found strange was that the article seemed to be suggesting that Harvard and the academic world were somehow responsible for his pro-war views,” said Kennedy School professor Alexander Keyssar ’69, who has known Ignatieff since they were graduate students. “Yet most of the faculty I know here opposed the war.” Kennedy...
