Jackson warns that there aren't enough young people (men included) in the pipeline to replace all the talent that flooded the sciences after Sputnik. The looming shortage, she says, will hinder the U.S. economy and national security. So maybe there's a silver lining to the Larry Summers controversy. "It allows us to have a broader conversation about our capacity for innovation," she says. "My focus is on the complete talent pool. It's an all-in proposition from my perspective." --By Julie Rawe

Government researchers two years ago tested almost every 15-year-old in Iceland for it and found that boys trailed far behind girls. That fact was unique among the 41 countries that participated in the standardized test for that age group designed by the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development. But while Iceland's girls were alone in the world in their significant lead in math, their national advantage of 15 points was small compared with the one they had over boys in fishing villages like Sandgerdi...

"I think I will be a pharmacist," says Heidarsdottir. The teens...

...season. For one, the Foreign Language Film situation has turned into an abysmal nightmare. Each country can submit only one film to be “considered,” and the nomination process is comparable to a police manual, with strange rules about the nationality of the creative talent, where the film was shot, and when and where it opened. Because the submission process is so labyrinthine, films like Almodovar’s Bad Education, Kar-Wai Wong’s 2046, Akin’s Head On, Marston’s Maria Full of Grace, Jeunet?...

Earning the top seed means the difference between having to meet probable third seed St. Lawrence and the eventual fourth seed (most likely Princeton or Yale) in the ECAC semifinals. The gulf in talent between the top three and the rest of the field is measurable, so Harvard would benefit greatly from avoiding the Saints and Big Green until the final...
