Your article "Glimpses of the Mind," about research into the workings of the brain [COVER STORY, July 17], included a photograph of a woman demonstrating how sign-language gestures are displayed as a computer-graphic image and correlated with brain activity. I feel you should have noted that the picture was taken and the research carried out in my laboratory at the Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience at Rutgers' campus in Newark, New Jersey.

...writer George Miller (of the Mad Max films) bought Dick King-Smith's children's story, on which the movie is based, nearly a decade ago. Co-writer and director Chris Noonan worked six years to bring it to the screen. The $25 million production seamlessly blends computer-graphic images (mostly of the creatures talking), animatronic doubles (for the facial expressions real creatures couldn't do) and live action supplied by 800 oinking, barking, baaing animals. "It had the logistical difficulty of a big action movie," says Miller, who claims his intimately scaled film is the biggest, most complicated Australian...
...burly, bombastic Judge Dredd, based on a popular series of British graphic novels, is best seen as a metaphor for the movie wars. As policeman, jury and executioner in the 22nd century, Joseph Dredd (Stallone) is supposed to be one potent dude, but he is manipulated and programmed by a ruling council.

Dredd's warped mirror image is a renegade named Rico...
Allende's life story, teeming with picaresque characters and improbable adventures, reads like her novels. In Paula she weaves it, sometimes seamlessly, sometimes abruptly, between graphic passages on her daughter's illness, Allende's own despair, and her metaphysical meditations on the life of the spirit. If the line between fact and fiction seems to blur, Allende explains, "magical realism is not a literary device; it's how I live." Growing up in Santiago, she remembers the great aunt "who at the end of her life began to sprout the wings of a saint," and the clairvoyant grandmother who, Allende...
...brought World War II to an end. Eight people unfurled banners from the second floor balcony above the main entrance to the museum, some shouting, "Never again! Never again!" They also threw pamphlets down at people entering the museum. Smithsonian Secretary Michael Heyman revised the exhibit -- which originally included graphic depictions of the damage and deaths caused by the bomb -- five times to satisfy congressional critics and outraged veterans' groups. Today, he said: "This is the Enola Gay. It dropped the bomb that ended the war . It doesn't take a position on the morality...
