Neuromarketing has its share of critics. Gary Ruskin, executive director of Commercial Alert, a nonprofit group that Ralph Nader set up to monitor commercial forces in society, sent letters to the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee in July 2004 calling for an investigation into the practice. Commercial Alert says it fears neuromarketers could "peer into our brains" and control our buying behavior. Joshua Freedman of FKF says such fears are misplaced. "Some people view this like Frankenstein and brain control, but I think that science, by trying to understand what goes on in human brains, should be very freeing by helping...
...Washington, which has heretofore been reserved for stone commemorations of American goodness (George Washington, Abraham Lincoln) and American tragedy (Vietnam). And it's hard to imagine a more successful job of it than that managed by architect Freed, a partner of I.M. Pei's. With its exhibits designed by Ralph Appelbaum, Freed's museum is neither a pious, too-easy-to-take abstraction nor a meretriciously Disneyesque Auschwitz-land; rather it is a craftsmanlike, thoughtful and powerfully disturbing hybrid of both, a ghastly but never wholly literal evocation of the camps as well as a sublime contemplation of history (even...

...Reed humoring his old friend? "Ralph receives unsolicited requests all the time for assistance on such matters," says his spokeswoman Lisa Baron, "but he does not recall following up on these matters." The cruise-ship scheme never came to fruition. The Choctaws got their jail, but so far, there's no evidence that the White House lifted a finger to make it happen. Abramoff declined to comment...
