The man has some ego, doesn’t he?
In the fall, Gingrich might decide to jump in, depending on how the Republican candidates are faring against Clinton, the New York senator.

Even though the Iraq War is over, there’s an interesting op-ed in today’s Times* that will surprise you and which should do absolutely nothing to stanch Bruno’s still-surging Petrae-crush (and the Professor’s, for that matter).
*Kenneth Pollack’s a funny case, too, having had written one of the most coherent, persuasive arguments in favor of invading Iraq, [...]

We’re one step closer to robotic limbs:
…to actually control the hand, the researchers relied on neural activity recorded from a monkey’s brain.
