...impertinent question remains just as pertinent. Last Thursday, Harvard’s Center for European Studies hosted a talk titled “On Genius and Geniuses in the Eighteenth Century.” At ease at the head of the Cabot Room’s oval table, a tan, tweed-clad Florida State professor delved into the religious and cultural roots of Enlightenment conceptions of “genius.” But throughout the presentation, the unspoken question hovered: Does the idea of genius still exist today...
...worthier than emptying the vault at a Las Vegas casino, but in terms of style, that's what The Cove is emulating. Characters are introduced with a flourish--the daredevil, the soulful surfer, the bumbling cops--and Psihoyos takes the George Clooney role. (He's got the tan and the big white teeth.)

To some, that's a blessing - the black-and-tan birds are beautiful, particularly in flight. But to others, Canada geese are noisy, smelly - not to mention aggressive - guests that have overstayed their welcome. Cities including Minneapolis and Reno, Nev., have implemented annual culling programs as neighbors in smaller towns fight over what to do about early-morning honking and maddening...
