...supposedly triumphant field of science hasn't even scratched the surface of explaining all. It hasn't told us how life could have arisen out of a cold, dark nothing. What science did discover was that we utilize about 10% of our brain capacity and that fully 90% of our gray matter is awaiting our resolve to stop gazing through radio telescopes in order to discover our beginning.

...whole, however, director Jacques Cartier has brought a triumphant production of Tom Stoppard's "Arcadia" to the Huntington Stage. The play's dialogue is intricate to the point of virtuosity, so much that the plottiness of the play almost seems to distract from its real virtue, the language.

Yevgeny Yasin, in an interview with the Russian Interfax news service, assured Russians that the government would deliver eventually. "A lot of economists and analysts are saying the only way Yeltsin's going to make good on his promises is to print more money," says TIME's Andrew Keith. That would cover the debt, but reintroduce the specter of inflation. Higher inflation...
