Speaking of dances, my favorite piece is 'Bees,' because you go through a dramatic arc that involves a dance and a tragic death scene. How do you bring your dramatic flair to these? Because I write them, I already have a tone in my head. I occasionally make the males scream and suffer about their deaths, because I assume that nobody wants to die. Even in mating...
...centuries, secular intellectuals have forecast the death of religion at the hands of modernity. They got it wrong. In God Is Back, Micklethwait and Wooldridge--the editor in chief and Washington bureau chief, respectively, of the Economist--map a spiritual surge that would bring Nietzsche to tears.

While most industrialized nations have seen HIV/AIDS death rates steadily decline in the past 10 years, China announced in February that the HIV virus took the lead as the deadliest infectious disease in the nation in 2008, killing nearly 7,000 people in the first nine months of the year. "It's very difficult to talk about...
