...much money, the movie looks both distinctive and plausible. It's much savvier at visualizing a things-to-come world than this weekend's new romantic comedy, Leap Year, is at bringing Ireland to life, and all Leap Year's director had to do was wait for the rain. (See why Leap Year is the worst film...
Nonetheless some observers say commissions like the FCIC tend to underwhelm. James Madison University political-science professor Glenn Hastedt, who has written about the 9/11 commission, says politicians shouldn't wait for the FCIC to come up with its conclusions before enacting financial reforms. He says the 9/11 commission did little more than reassure the public that the government was aware of terrorism. "What is the main goal here?

(You also wouldn't want to wait 60 years for the results.) By coincidence, Pembrey had access to another incredible trove of genetic information. He had long been on the board of the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), a unique research project based at the University of Bristol, in England. Founded by Pembrey's friend Jean Golding, an epidemiologist at the university, ALSPAC has followed thousands of young people...
