Eggers isn't stupid. He knows the Panorama has shortcomings and admits it wouldn't work as a daily concern. "I don't think any one paper would look like this on a given day," he says. "We're just saying that other publications could take some of these features and sprinkle them into the mix." To him, Panorama works best when thought of as a "concept car at an auto show" - something that's sleek and beautiful but wholly unnecessary for someone who just wants to drive to the grocery store...
...check out Miller's work (our fave is "Color Me") on her Facebook and Myspace pages. (We also kind of like her unusual covers of 90s pop music.) Her recordings will be availabe on iTunes come January, but you can get her CD here...
...policy is not against anthropologists helping the military - a few of the co-authors of the AAA report, in fact, work closely with the military. But McFate's larger point stands: for the past few decades, anthropologists have had little influence in military or foreign policy circles.

He clearly has a lot of work ahead of him. Tiger's absence is a horrendous development for golf. In a down economy, the sport is already hurting for sponsors.

But last month he told a gathering of retired military and police officials who served under Pinochet that he'll work to rein in the trials - "proceedings that go on ad eternum," he remarked - that have convicted a number of their colleagues for murders and other abuses committed during the dictatorship. Some 3,000 people were killed or disappeared in that 17-year period...
