thought cows evolved to eat grass, Ms. Wintersteen, the
agriculture-school dean, declined to answer. "I don't have an opinion
on that statement," she said. When pressed, Ms. Wintersteen said
she's an entomologist, not an animal scientist, and consequently
couldn't be expected to know whether cows evolved to eat grass.

The expertise gap itself is becoming dramatic. In one of the most
comprehensive surveys of American professors, sociologists Neil Gross
of the University of British Columbia and Solon Simmons of George
Mason found that 51 percent described themselves as Democrats, and
35.3 percent described themselves as independents--with the bulk of
those independents distinctly Democrat-leaning, rather than straddling
the center. Just 13.7 percent were Republicans.

Breasts that hang loose, and are of an extraordinary largeness,
lose their charms, and have their Beauty buried in the grave of
uncomeliness, whilst those that are small, plump and round, like two

Empire, command an awful homage from his vassals, captivate the
wondering gazer's eyes, and dart warm desires into his Soul, that make
him languish and melt before the soft Temptation.

The game is designed so that players can manipulate virtual
molecular structures that look like multicolored, curled-up Tinkertoy
sets. The virtual molecules follow the same chemical rules that are
obeyed by real molecules. When someone playing the game comes up with
a more elegant structure that reflects a lower energy state for the
molecule, his or her score goes up. If the structure requires more
energy to maintain, or if it doesn't reflect real-life chemistry, then
the score is lower.
