...crescendos. The most successful piece is the epic "Klein Mandelbrot," which conveys a kinetic sense of flux. Moments like this are effective due to their innovation in combining percussion and electronic music with more conventional instruments. But while the album presents an unusual sonic experience, it is unlikely to impress listeners searching for the excitement of a live Blue Man Group performance...
...prisoner of the Chinese Communist Party, which he leads 50 years after its revolution: a party that is empty of vision, worried about unrest, out of touch with a younger generation of Chinese for whom money, not ideology, is the bottom line. The harder Jiang tries to impress, the less China's population wants to listen. He understands the need for economic development, but political openness is still out of the question.

The man with your former body may now have a bum knee, but he won't know why (that misguided dive you took playing touch football to impress your girlfriend in 1971). Summing up his own theoretical musings about the wisdom of a brain swap, Tufts University philosopher Daniel Dennett concluded that it was not an even exchange. "It was clear that my current body and I could part company, but not likely that I could be separated from my brain...
