While the Educational Testing Service toys with its haywire computer in the Tiger-infested regions of Princeton, N.J., students around the nation are grappling with an ever-increasing pre-law neurosis...

Hercules remembered seeing a frog's heart pumping away in saline solution, two hours after the frog died. Joggers were interested in living long lives, not necessarily good ones; they forgot that...
