• August 18 -- "Alarming"
Environmental Bias at the Times

Cucumber-Flinging Monkeys Fight for
Fairness
Adam Cohen’s editorial summarizes a study of the
group behavior of capuchin monkeys: “In a week when fairness was so evidently on
the ropes--from the World Trade Organization meeting in Cancún, which poor
nations walked out of in frustration, to the latest issue of Forbes, reporting
that the richest 400 Americans are worth $955 billion--the capuchin monkeys
offered a glimmer of hope from the primate gene pool.”
• April 22 --
Abortion Numerology
A partial-birth abortion story features a
Gollum-style struggle over just how many such abortions are performed: “It is
not known how often [partial-birth abortion] is performed in the United States,
but its use is limited to the latter weeks of the second trimester. Even then,
it is not always the procedure doctors choose. In fact, it is practiced very
rarely.” Got that?
