...line. While Gore enjoyed playing at the molecular level, Bush is annoyed by it. Every aide tells you this is the key to understanding his leadership approach. And it is the way to understand how he rules the ranch too. The stuff has to be cleared to get the broader view, cleared so that you can see from the land on top of his property down into the greener valley. We stop at an overlook he has just thinned out so that he can show Laura. Each night they take a walk before sunset; now they will have a clean...
...side of a given case and are not restricted in what they say on behalf of today's client by what they may have said on behalf of yesterday's.

They're learning, for example, that humans have far fewer genes than the 100,000 to 140,000 scientists believed as recently as last summer.

...broader level, Schor's decision to leave once again calls our attention to the dearth of women Faculty at Harvard, especially in light of a similar decision made by Seyla Benhabib earlier this month. In losing Schor and Benhabib, the University loses two of its most distinguished female professors, the directors of two of its most unique degree granting programs and two of its most vocal proponents of gender equity in academia. Already abysmally small, the community of female Faculty members cannot afford diminution instead of growth. If Harvard is to make good on its promises of opening the traditionally...
