...motivate present poetry. Since Sparklehorse’s bizarrely-titled 1995 debut “Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot,” Linkous has experimented with different means of inner exorcism: each resultant work more cohesive than the last. While all of his songs evoke eerie dreamscapes—horizons of teeth, pianos on fire, dying horses—Linkous’ two most recent albums seem more self-aware. Because of his lyrical opacity, one gets the sense that Linkous is assembling bits and pieces in an attempt to scare his listeners, rather than to tell a story of any sort...
...paleontologists have accumulated more and more fossils, they have compiled data on a long list of anatomical features, including body shape, bipedalism, brain size, the shape of the skull and face, the size of canine teeth, and opposable thumbs. Using comparative analyses of these attributes, along with dating that shows when various features appeared or vanished, they have constructed increasingly elaborate family trees that show the relationships between apes, ancient hominids and us. Along the way they learned, among other things, that Darwin, even with next to no actual data, was close to being right in his intuition that apes...
...also exhausting. I am surprised Ann stopped long enough to leave this world. She loved telling stories.

My assumption is since Harvard has made this move others will be emboldened to do the same,” he said. —Staff writer Benjamin L. Weintraub can be reached at bweintr@fas.harvard.edu
...Zach Helm's clever, calculating script, Harold Crick (Ferrell) is a solitary, hard-working I.R.S. agent who, as he methodically brushes his teeth one morning, hears an authoritative female voice say that he is brushing his teeth. Indeed, everything he does, she describes. And Harold, whose lack of an inner life is his most distinctive feature and saving grace, suddenly is rudderless. "It's not schizophrenia," he patiently explains to a shrink he visits. "It's just a voice talking in my head." He also seeks advice from Jules Hilbert (Dustin Hoffman), an English professor who helps Harold locate...
