...list of ancient and faded powers we must add the Undergraduate Council of Harvard College. There are only two problems with the analogy, however. The first is that the council is not actually defunct; it is still recognized as the official organ of representation for the undergraduate population and probably will be for some time to come...

...place here. Rather, this is a brawny, rough-and-tumble, rollicking place, animated by the earthy good humor of its Chaucerian folk. Hurly-burly impromptu is the way of Seoul. Round-faced women set up huge speakers on busy street corners, then sit beside them, crooning along to organ music as they entertain themselves. Hypervendors stack up rows of imitation Reeboks on the hoods of cars, using the backseats as storerooms for their goods. A man wanders out onto the sidewalk in his pajamas...

Doug is waiting the next day at his church, a low-slung building the size of a corner gas station, where there's an organ and a clunky, slightly out-of- tune piano. It's a Saturday.

Reason and experience suggested we would fall apart. But by keeping our eyes on the Lord, we have not sunk," said a relieved Archbishop of Canterbury Robert Runcie, the Anglicans' spiritual leader...

...more time scientists spend designing computers, the more they marvel at the human brain. Tasks that stump the most advanced supercomputer -- recognizing a face, reading a handwritten note -- are child's play for the 3-lb. organ. Most important, unlike any conventional computer, the brain can learn from its mistakes. Researchers have tried for years to program computers to mimic the brain's abilities, but without success. Now a growing number of designers believe they have the answer: if a computer is to function more like a person and less like an overgrown calculator, it must be built more like...
