...best of friends, and share a bedroom in the kibbutz. Dror wears glasses and looks professorial. Nimrod has a dreamer's face. His brown bangs are cut evenly like a monk's over a pair of eyes the same shade of brown. The boys' room is spare, full of sunlight and, like most boys' rooms, ridiculous. On the wall hang pictures of two white kittens, a deer, Popeye and Olive Oyl, and an El Al jet. The boys have done some pictures of their own.

...scientists see its history as a cautionary tale.

Sunlight will still beat down through the atmosphere, but the CO2 will block heat from radiating back into space, raising global temperatures, melting polar ice and flooding coastal cities...
...mysterious atmosphere. The cinematography by Gregory Nava imbues light with a sinister and unearthly aura. People quiver before the firelight and become disembodied; eerily-lit heads swathed in darkness. The carefully sculptured garden becomes a foreboding place, a jungle, at dawn.

And like many horror tales, the Haunting of M revolves around a headstrong heroine and a vengeful ghost...
...three 1981 physics winners were cited for contributions to spectroscopy, a basic tool for studying atoms and molecules that dates back to the moment when Sir Isaac Newton passed a beam of sunlight through a prism and found that it was split into a rainbow of colors, a spectrum. Newton's successors discovered that any material heated to incandescence not only produces a spectrum but one so distinctive that it could be used like a fingerprint for identifying the substance. Astronomers soon found that the spectra of distant stars yielded all manner of information, including the star...
