...commonly held belief that the Yuletide season ultimately belongs to the tiniest among us, but one could just as easily argue that it really belongs to the suits at CBS. During the past 30 years the network has come to own the holiday season, broadcasting more Christmas-themed movies and specials than any of its competitors. In fact, with the exception of a few annuals like Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas (TBS), CBS has continued to air each year almost every single children's holiday classic (see chart) created since...
PHYSICISTS WERE UNDERSTANDABLY overjoyed in 1994 when they discovered the top quark. At last, after 17 years of searching, they had found the sixth--and, according to the theorists, the last--of matter's tiniest, most fundamental building blocks. The most troublesome loose end in the so-called Standard Model of particle physics had been tidied...
...fact, some of prehistory's worst mass extinctions took place during the Cambrian itself, and they probably occurred for no obvious reason. Rather, just as the tiniest touch can cause a steeply angled sand pile to slide, so may a small evolutionary advance that gives one species a temporary advantage over another be enough to bring down an entire ecosystem. "These patterns of speciations and extinctions, avalanching across ecosystems and time," warns Kauffman, are to be found in every chaotic system - human and biological. "We are all part of the same pageant," as he puts it. Thus, even in this...
...Yasser Arafat (just below the "50" banner) was placed near Yitzhak Rabin of Israel--Meles Zenawi of Ethiopia, on Arafat's left, separated them.

...parade of reporters over the next few days. In an interview with TIME, he described the fierce gamesmanship between him and his captors. "I was in a small room, only 4 sq m [43 sq. ft.]. These young guards were with me all the time." To gain the tiniest measure of privacy, he shamed them into letting him close the door of the toilet (though they peered through a peephole) and stared at them in the mirror over a small desk until "they think I use the mirror to watch them, so they remove it." He then began writing tiny...
