...even experienced scientists who've spent years observing them struggle to avoid falling into the trap of anthropomorphism. It would be nice to believe, on a Valentine's Day, that when George and Leah lock eyes, they know a little bit of what we might feel when we look upon our loved one. And perhaps they do. But they don't need to. The life of a wild gorilla, caught only in glimpses from a distance, has richness and mystery that is wholly sufficient to itself, and which we'll never fully know...

Traditional academics may look down upon sex as a means of drawing students into lecture halls, but if it inspires us to explore previously unconsidered fields, take extra classes and show up to optional events, it can?...

Some of the actors even came off as smug: during a dramatic tribute to political detainees, one actor grinned upon flubbing a line.Paradise boiled down to a jejune rant against commercialism. It was in Dante’s Purgatory that the play became overtly politically charged. In Hell, a series of perplexing, abstract torture sequences involving puppets and the reading of an interrogation log served to honor the prisoners...
