...conversation quickly turned away from science; all my friends were mesmerized by tales of neighborhood rumbles between oversized ten year-olds at the local pools. This was hardly the first time I had witnessed casual conversation touch the edge of scientific inquiry and bounce back off, like a projectile not quite captured by a body’s gravity. Those of us “in science”—the very term conjures images of a chemist fighting off thick fumes of acid or a geologist emerging from a month-long stay in a sticky cave?...
...little time selling your company," says Biren Ghose, CEO of Bombay-based Animation Bridge. "Now, I don't have to sell India. I can start selling my company straight away." Because of globalization, cultural differences that affect production values?the look and feel of programs?are rapidly disappearing, too. "Ten years ago, when Bugs Bunny said, 'What's the hubbub, bub?,' most Indians would not have got it," says Nilesh Sardesai, creative director at Crest.

...almost four years’ worth of terrorism, war and misgovernance. And unlike the patrons at the New York preview, many of whom were born with Democratic Party membership in one hand and a silver spoon in the other, Moore doesn’t touch armchair liberalism with a ten foot pole. His leftism comes from, and on behalf of, working class middle America, an America he clearly loves. His dissent is an act of patriotism, and its fierceness takes one’s breath away...
