...more than grim spatter sci-fi: it gets that the very things that make science terrifying also make it cool. (See also CSI.) This is especially true when it comes to the bioscience conundrums that make Fringe's sci-fi so literally intimate. On this new X-Files, the truth is not just out there. It's in here--encrypted in our bodies, under our skin, in our very DNA. If only we could figure out what we are trying to tell ourselves...

There is one thing that can be done in the immediate future, however: We must abolish Columbus Day. Not the national holiday itself; I enjoy the day off as much as anyone else. Rather, we should turn Columbus Day into a holiday that honors all American peoples. In Berkeley, for example, Columbus Day was already replaced with Indigenous Peoples Day in 1992. In parts of Latin America, Columbus Day is celebrated...
